This is my first post, as i recently have decided to turn my basement into a dedicated HT. I am looking at a 12' by 25' room, which you should give me good room to work with.
My problem is due to my lack of foresight while constructing my new house, the available space has ductwork and beams running right thru the ceiling area. To box around the ducts and beam would cause a 1'4" drop on my ceiling at that space, leaving me around a 6' 8 ceiling height. It works out that its 8' from one of the room and 10' from the opposite end, so you can tell the damn thing is 7' long. Rerouting of pipes and ducts would be more expensive than i can justify.
Besides the obvious cosmetic problem, while i face any accoustic or visual problems? My plan was along the lines of 2 rows of 3 theater seats, with an 8" riser for the second tier.
I want to add that the information on this site is quite amazing, with a VERY knowledgable community. Any info provided to help with my problem would be greatly appreciated.
