Thanks Wayne, you're always helpful.

The best situation I had was at my last house. I had my equipment in a basement. It had the usual heavy concrete walls, with framing, and it was 12' underground. The only people likely to complain would be people on the ground floor doing something else.

I usually put on some music with really heavy bass and have the volume up as loud as I would play it at what I considered loud.
Then I would (at about midnight) walk around my house exterior and see what I could hear.

I will put some thought into this, since it is easier to do it right before I fill a room with equipment and furniture. The dampers sound good. So does the additional frame work. I will look at the CARA link you listed.

One last question. If I locate my AV room upstairs, do you think it would become a radiating tower, or would the sound tend to pass over most lower level surrounding structures?
