In no particular order, I have a load of questions!
1. 2.4m x 4.5m room - is 7.1.4 atmos worth doing?
2. Does anyone have any recommendations of how to treat the ceiling? Non reflective paint, or material? (I can imagine the latter to be a royal PITA)
3. Pelmet & star ceiling - these look like a hell of alot of work...what do people think? Is it worth it to have that rope light around the top of the room and downlights? I also have a hatch in the ceiling so don't think this will work but interested to get people's thoughts.
4. I'm building a frame around the room of CLS (so 100mm deep)...will be using insulation slabs at key reflection points, but what insulation to use? I have 2 key areas to treat. Firstly the side walls and rear wall. And secondly the screen wall. Due to the depth of subwoofer I will have a 2 foot void to pack with insulation behind the screen wall. Any thoughts on the best materials to use for both the side and rear walls and behind the screen? The front corners of the room will make for great bass traps, but assuming I would need to use a different insulation to achieve the best results? It's a while since I looked into this and I've forgotten loads of stuff...
5. Acoustics again - has anyone treated their ceiling with acoustic tiles, and did it make a difference? Did you go for absorption or diffusion?
6. Due to space I'm planning on having the kit rack hidden in the screen wall too...has anyone done this, and are there any good enclosures that people have used (whcih aren't stupid money) which can be wheeled forward to access cables behind for installation etc?
Thanks!
