I might be of some assitance. I have built small theaters and mixing control rooms.

AFAIK there aren't many books on building home theater rooms. There are a few on building small control rooms and the priciples do cross over. Look for Alton Everest and Crraig Anderton (not sure of the spelling.)

To get you started you need to look at a lot of questions.

1. Is this tio be a single use room? Video only, Music, Living room
2. What is the budget?
3. How noisy is the area and how much noise will you be allowed to put out to the rest of the house and the neibors
4. What are you allowed do to the structure of the building?
5. What is the maximum wheight load for the floor
6. How much space do you have.
7. The Big One: What will your significant other require of the room?
8. Can you do the work yourself or do you need to find a contractor? Friends and or Family help"

I will be glad to let you pick my brain.
