I can't say for sure, but I imagine that differences in imaging in the other room were not only due to the height. I'm not trying to talk you about of raising the ceiling! I like high ceilings too.

It seems I will have two choices of ceiling: a classic cathedral ceiling, with the front wall going straight up to the point were it meets the highest part of the ceiling,(around 11 ft.,going from front to back), or.... a cathedral ceiling were the front wall is also vaulted twards the middle of the room, starting at 8 ft and meets the highist point (11 ft.) at around 6 ft into the room.
Any comments which would serve me best acoustically? It seems that the simple classic cathedral ceiling would allow the highest image height and largest room volume, but maybe it dosn't make that much of a difference? Or the vaulted front wall is especially benificial?

A ceiling that goes higher toward the rear and doesn't come back down is best. The ceiling in my living room home theater peaks at 11 feet in the middle and goes down to 8 feet in the front and rear. The sound and acoustics are fine! But I have absorbers under the center peak which avoids focusing any reflections to a point under the peak. Photo below.
