He folks, below is a quick drawing I put togethor of what my new HT in the basement will look like once complete. The concern I have is with the area to the right and behind the primary viewing locations. As you can see, it is all open to a 30ft x 30ft room. I'm worried when watching movies, having this open space will affect the surround speakers for the listener. I guess what I'm trying to say, with no walls, to the right and behind, will that affect the accoustics?
I'm thinking about adding dark black curtains to the right and behind, that I can easily pull out to enclose the area when watching movies, but open when I want to crank up the tunes.
