Not complete, but almost there.
I still have to put the trim up around the rack and fireplace and build the grate for the return air.
I thought I would share my progress.

Very nice! Don't let my wife see that! She wanted a stone side wall in the HT room but I was worried that it would be an acoustical nightmare. How do you find it?

I went from bare concrete and drywall to stone. I would say it is an improvement over the flat wall. I went from a hard flat wall to a hard heavily textured wall that breaks up the reflections better. Honestly the best thing I did for that room acoustically (and comfort) is the giant 8ft memory foam bean bag from http://www.comfysacks.com/comfy-sacks. The high pitch slap echo is the area I saw reduction with the stone. I have the acoustic foam for panels that will be placed primarily around the pool table area and rear wall. I will have to test with the panels near the screen to see if it makes enough difference to bother with. I am concerned about how to build ascetically pleasing panels in a room with this wood/stone feel. I like the look I have built and don't want to screw that up.

Hey Wake, just a thought but a lot of companies will make panels / fabric with your high resolution photos. You could take photo's of your actual stone and have those images made to order. These would blend in nicely mounted to your stone areas....here's a couple to consider.......

I have considered doing exatly that with some of my landscape shots I have taken in my travels. Here are a few examples I happen to have on my laptop with me:

Ice

bear

Anchorage

fall

Honestly I would rather have them made from pics I have taken of my smoking hot wife.....but doubt she wants that.

Really!? Wow... I never figured stone to be good for acoustics. Interesting! It really looks fantastics.
