I am going to try to get her involved. She can help pick colors and crap like that.

so these placed at semi-random just break up any reflections off the walls?

You need to play with the placement and they will actually absorb bass and other sound. I believe the intent is to keep the sound from bouncing around and cluttering the room. If you look into nice HT rooms you will see various forms of acoustic treatments.

Pannels can go on the walls in a very decrotative way, if you are capable of comming up with decorative ways.
That is why I am getting the future wifey into it.

Skynut,

My suggestion would be to start reading the document links first to become familiar with the subject before you start any projects.

Have fun.
