| Re: "Buttresses" in a home theatre room: what are they for?
There are many reasons for columns in the room.
- it breaks up the long surface along the side walls.
- it allows hiding of the side surrounds
- it allows not cutting holes in the walls for speaker wiring that would compromise isolation
- it allows a space for you to run 110v outlets into the room down from in the soffit without cutting holes in the room that will compromise isolation
- it makes a great place to hide some additional thicker bass absorbtion
- etc.
