I have finally made all the changes to the room. Thank you all for your suggestions I did most of them. I put rivets in every piece of t-bar and there is enough insolation in the ceiling now to insolate the whole house. I still have a slight ratteling problem but I am not to worried about it as I am moving in October anyway, and get to start from scatch again. My next attempt at a theatre room will be more thought out I am already doing the planning.
Hello Bill, Awsome stuff. What are the dimensions of your room? I am converting my guest room into a listening/HT room. My room is 8'H/13.5'W/18.5'L. My equipment is currently in my living room which is 19'H/20'W/24'L but has all tile floors and leather furinture and sounds terrible. My speakers are B&W N802 L/R, HTM1 C, N804 SL/SR and I am concerned that the room is too small for those speakers. My amplification is nowhwere near the power that you have, B&K 200.5, but from the photos, your room does not look really large. So I am interested in your experience, and anyone elses opinion, with all that power in your room. Thanks for posting your theater for all of us to view.
