It would be fun to rebuild it, but God knows when I'll have the time! Latest is it seems the contractor didn't prime the sheetrock on my listening room ceiling before he skim coated it, and as a consequence, when I pulled off what looked like some peeling paint from the ceiling, the plaster started coming off in big chunks. So I primed and started patching, and for the next few days the room will be unusable:
Then I'll have the new amp to try, after which I have to rebuild the speakers, try the Mini DSP, and hang the projection screen, which has been lying on the floor for a month now. So I have to be realistic about what I can hope to accomplish.
Follow Ups:
Most Maggie owners mark the floor once they finalize the best speaker positions. It looks like you are planning to mount them on the walls and/or ceiling. Or perhaps the tape marks off multiple crime scenes!
Seriously though you have a room filled with old world detail and character!
Shhh, you'll give away my trade secrets!
Seriously, this room was built in 1695 and someday I must complain to the guy who built it because the ceiling is too low for Acoustats. The beam above the speakers is part of the original frame and was hewn from a gigantic chestnut log -- wonder what they'd think about MDF?

Hey, the ghosts say they *like* the music, though a distinct minority argue that I'm guilt of witchcraft and should be burned at the stake.
