RE: Thanks, Jim. ...

In the interest of not confusing you further, I'll not venture any more opinions beyond the following one that I always offer when I speak at seminars:

Out of many hundreds, maybe over a thousand detailed voicings of systems all over North America in the past 30+ years, I have personally never heard a room built to meet design criteria supplied by famous designers (who have fabulous theories, but they are all different from each other re the theoretically best rooms and set-ups) that allowed for the complete maximization of the full potential of the system.

They may exist somewhere - I just never heard one that really delivered the goods.

Sometimes the clients who had these rooms liked what they had, until they had a reference for what else could be acheived.

I normally advise basic stuff - like building the largest rectangular room you can, with wood floors if possible, stay away from even multiples on the dimensions, and when you get in there, make it work.

Addressing HVAC, electrical, materials, and room treatments are additional topics.

Let us know what you decided on and how it turned out. What an exciting opportunity lies before you!

Best regards,

Jim Smith
