Well, as I drew up my plan on the computer, went home and looked closely, may be able to make it a slight rectangle. 14' 8" x 13' 10". I can bump out the 18" areas 1.5" - 2" or so, if that will help. After laying out the room with software, it seems that my couch will fit in a good listening area, and that's it!

On another note, if possible, would I be better off not tying my walls into the floor joists above? Would this cut down on the vibrations/sound transmitting into the bedroom above? I definitely don't want to be part of the "my room sucks" club. And yes, I did come across a substantial amount of carpet squares for the best price - Free Although it is from a not too successful carpet venture
