I have gotten to the point now where I really love my home theater, but it is taking up almost all of my living room. I am single, so I can get away with it, but I would kind of like to have a "normal" living room again. I have a finished basement (bottom half of a standard bilevel). I am thinking of moving my HT down there as a dedicated game room/HT but I want to get some opinions. Attached is a diagram of what I am thinking. My concerns.... wall A and B are half wood panel on the bottom and painted wallboard on the top. Wall C is wood paneling from ceiling to the floor. I will probably put a couch with an ottoman as shown, but that will be about the only source of sound dampening besides the carpet. Will all that wood paneling cause some bad sound issues? Does anyone have any CHEAP ideas of how to get around them if so? I really don't want to spend a lot of money at this time but I thought it would be nice to have my 57" tv downstairs for when playing poker, darts, etc. on top of a dedicated area. If I end up liking how it all sounds, I would probalby do a cut out for an A/V rack in the wall with easy access to the rear via the utility room. I wanted to get some opinions on the paneling and such before I try taking all my equipment downstairs. Any help would be much appreciated!
