Hey folks, long time reader, but never contributed yet. Just purchased a new (to me) house and I've been given permission to create a dedicated cinema / hifi room. Room is 3.6m x 3.9m and I've got a good idea of what I'm aiming to create there.
I've done some rough Google Sketchup designs just using the online version to get a sense for what fits. I think I'm heading down the route of in-wall speakers, acoustically transparent screen to keep everything hidden. The only visible speakers will be the hifi floor standers.
The outstanding portions of the walls both sides and rear will be acoustic diffusers behind cloth and also allowing for the installation of the speakers. Small display shelf on right hand side of room for some subtle movie themed collectibles. The rear wall has the window but this will be fully hidden behind the acoustic panels. Top and bottom of the diffuser panels will be LED lit, and there will be a similar central panel running down the roof from front to back to hide speaker mounts / projector mount.
Screen in the design is 100" which I think is more than big enough for the room as is.
Comments welcome!
Update:
Here's all the links of useful sites that I've found whilst researching all this:
Triangle calculator for ceiling and surround speaker positioning.
Triangle Calculator
Calculating points of first reflection.
Locating areas of first reflections
Room Modes Calculator
