I've been a reader of this forum for a while and have finally decided to begin my own HT. This one is not in the States, but in Kuwait. So this may pose some differences to what you guys are used to with regard to sourcing materials and construction methods.
I'm obviously working with the metric system but I have converted some figures to English to ease communication.
The room was part of an open-plan basement, which has been recently partitioned with Insulated concrete blocks on the right and rear side walls (shown in light gray). The existing walls on the front and left is poured reinforced concrete retaining wall (Dark gray). The room is roughly 29' x 15' and has two existing windows. I have purchased 12 HT leather reclining seats and plan to arrange them in 3 rows, 2 of which sit on 2 riser levels. i am also planning for 7.1 configuration and an HDTV front projecting screen.
Like many others, I got overwhelmed with the amount of information on the acoustical treatment master thread. So I've decided to begin this thread to hopefully get some input with the next phase of acoustic treatments. I would really appreciate any help or pointers especially when it comes to treating that curved front wall and dealing with this long theater configuration.
