Hi,

I need your help in the following:

I have a dedicated listening-room for my stereo system. Unfortunately I have a square room (16.4x16,31x10.5 feet), with little treatments like some absorbers on the side walls at the first reflection points. My main problem is the bass and I must also isolate the room more effectively from the two conjunction rooms of the house. The listening room has brick walls, the two outer walls are around 1.25 feet thick and the two inner walls are around 0.4, one window, two doors.
My plan is to change dimension of the room first and later treat the room with acoustical panels traps etc. I may also quit one of the doors.
I found this web page for room modes calculator:
http://www.bobgolds.com/Mode/RoomModes.htm
It suggests that by changing the room dimension to 15.98x14.96x9.94, I can get a better room.
I'll try to keep the room as large as possible.
I thought to apply gypsum boards and mineral wool to get the desired dimension.
I would put the gypsum boards along the side walls, the ceiling and the front wall.

Could you please comment if the new dimensions and the gypsum boards are proper to get a better bass response?
How critical is the 2500 sq. feet volume as a minimum (I red it at realtraps.com) ?
Shall I treat the rear wall too?

Any comment or suggestion is welcomed, thanks!

Csaba
