Would any members who have a dedicated home cinema room or a stereo music listening care to share their experience with those of us aiming to build/convert one.

I am a farmer and I don't have to endure all the red tape when building, so I would like to build the perfect cinema cum stereo room, where I can just dis sappear into after a hard day on the tractor, cold beer in hand and sink into my leather recliner and chill. It must be the closest thing to heaven here on earth.

I need your opinions on:
1) Room dimensions - Most practical room size for 4/6 people - mostly 4 (I have read that a slightly rectangular room is desirable
2) Insulation's on walls floor and ceiling
3) TV??? Looking at the Samsung 55" LED 3D HD at the moment.
4) Theatre chairs (the ones that vibrate and move)
5) What reading matter/ books should I be looking at
6) Are there any members pref. the E Cape, KZN areas who have a room I can come and listen to?

I have promised myself to listen to at least ten rooms before I lay a brick!

I am sure that many of us newbies will benefit from all this advice
