David,
I think that is the right way to first work on acoustics, then you have to catch up with the wiring, cabling, to work on the concealing area, and a few small things here and there, it will take you quite some time to do this work, it is only after these times you can plan to buy the av items.
I have never heard carpets being stuck on the walls, and i think there is no such fevicol in the market that can hold carpet on the wall, and even if it holds, it is likely to fall out sooner than later, please guide me who has suggested to put carpet on the walls, and in which areas of the walls are you putting the carpet?
I do not know from where one can get the sound diffusers and acoustic panels, one of the place to look from is via yellow pages, and i am sure there will be some members who can put light on this sourcing. I came across a member by the name of summit, he has made a dedicated home theatre, he has done acoustic treatment, please contact him, he could be of help to you for the sourcing.
I have in-direct diffusers and related in the form of several show pieces in my theatre room.
For me to source glass wool, the fabric on the walls, etc, it took a lot of time, at times i got these things, but then they were not in order or not to my satisfaction, etc, so to get the right things i had to have loads of patience, and when i got these items there were several teething problems, again by which my making of the theatre used to get delayed, so moral of the story is that a lot of patience is required, and one can not set a deadline, like in the case of the member glads, he has set a deadline of 8th August, that his home theatre should be ready, i tell you if you want something fully to your satisfaction with loads of planning, then deadline can never give you a good product, especially with so many sharks around to misguide you, in the form of dealers, advice rs, the so called half baked professionals of making a home theatre.
For whatever acoustics work you get done, please be sure that it is in the right direction, at least 3 learned people should be able to confirm that you are on the right track.
With the acoustic work you have to remember that there has to be minimum glass in the room, there should be soft items in the room, hard items as less as possible, the flooring should have carpet wall to wall, or at least in front of the main speakers, if there are sliding windows, use curtains which are at least double thicker to the normal thickness of the curtains, and not to forget the speakers should be able to live up to your room size, otherwise there could be trouble in the waiting, at the end of the day, i have seen however good you make your theatre, if you run wrong in some of the lane, than it could spell trouble, so there has to be a lot of tight rope walking.
As and when if i can be of any assistance to you, please do let me know.
Vinay.
