Hi all. I am suddenly starting my second dedicated home theater. I have experience, but it seems like a lot has happened in the last 6 years since I finished the last one. The builder of our new house is going to finish most of the basement, and frame the theater. Now that the deal is sealed, he wants to have a final drawing quickly. Here are my questions.
1: because of the layout, there are 2 funky areas on the corners, do I want the theater rectangular, or do I want to include these areas for some acoustical reason? Maybe they would work well as bass trap areas?
2: Would it be better for sound isolation to have the double doors, or have a vestibule? Please see the third image for a possible variation to include the vestibule.
Thanks in advance. I know I don't have a lot of detail in the outlines, but it will be room within a room construction with DD and GG. I have 130" wide SMX 2.40 screen for the screen. Rough dimensions are 15'X20'.
Feel free to ask questions, I really need to move on this right away since walls are going to start going up in a few days.
I'll probably start or modify this thread when I get to work in it. Provisionally called Peone Foothills Monoplex, hey you've got to have the name first, right?
