I'm in the planning stages of building a home with a semi-custom home builder and I need a sanity check before a take the plunge.
Attached is the layout of the first floor. I want to use the gameroom in the back as a HT room. According to http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1112099 the dimensions (20'1"x12'11"x8') are pretty good. Right? Would 7.1 work well in this room?
I can have the ceilings vaulted in the room for a reasonable price, but I'm assuming that'd bad for a HT? I can also raise the ceiling to 9' for a price, but my guess is that isn't needed.
I plan to use the small closet as an AV closet and put a vent between it and the bathroom for ventilation, keeping the HT room quiet.
Any suggestions are very appreciated. Thanks!
