Somewhat unique acoustics questions


For reference, the room is 15 by 22 and has a soffit (4' x 1.5' high)

1.Ok, if I have an AT screen and the LCR behind the screen, do I put absorbtion just in between the LCR or do I treat the whole wall from top to bottom with absorbtion?

2.On the side walls, when treating reflection points, does the absorbtion go all the way from floor to ceiling or is it only treated from ear-level to the ceiling with reflective surface underneath?

3.I was planning on a star ceiling, with the star ceiling I could also use rigid fiberglass board and use it as absorbtion on the ceiling, would this risk making the room too dead sounding or would it create a sound as if the ceiling was higher? (I heard this trick of using absorbtion on the roof when recording because it makes the room sound larger I'm not sure if it was all ** or what)

4.On the rear wall, I have diffusion planned by making the back of the HT DVD shelves and some absorbtion. Should the rear wall be treated like the side walls or should it be as dead as the front wall?




5.So guys, am I generally OK to think like this or am I setting myself up for an acoustical nightmare?
