RE: How's this for a listening room?

Hi
Besides the sloped ceiling which is a huge concern (witness the poor sound in most of the Munich High-End Show sloped-ceiling rooms), you wrote:
"The rear wall of the room is taken up with accordion style wooden closet doors and the doorway to the room in the back corner "
The adjoining room should be added to the room dimensions from a bass modes POV.

I have attached a useful link to calculate room modes (sorry, no sloped ceiling function).
The same site includes an excellent room acoustic treatment calculator. After you buy the house, the Room Acostics link will be useful to fine-tune the room. Start with furniture, carpets, curtains, input those into the calculator, see how is the room response and RT-60, then and buy the audiophile stuff ONLY if your room has an RT-60 shorter than 0.5 seconds (diffusors) or longer than 1 second (absorbent panels).
Bass traps are not mandatory and should be evaluated on-site, preferably with a Real Time Analyser.

BTW the software's RT-60 and bass response calculations match pretty closely the RTA measurements in my room.
Have fun!
