There is a very good, but basic, article on sound insulation and 
isolation in theis months Home Theater Mag. Actually, it offers some pretty 
good suggestions on listening room treatments.
        Although it is far too early to tell what will happen. My plans now 
are to build a home rather than buy an existing one, and use the sandwiched 
panels I spoke of for a listening room and for a "secure" area of the home 
interior for security...but that is another subject. For both apps the sound 
insulation properties are excellent for the extra money involved. With the 
addition of a second regular type drywall - wall, with the studs completely 
separated from the panels by a mere 1 inch, the payback is suppose to be 
almost total soundproofing. That is quite a claim, so it would be interesting 
to test.
        After all the experimenting and treatments of my existing area, it 
would seem very strange to be in a genuinely quiet room with my equipment set 
up exactly as it should be. My luck I would find all my equipment stinks and 
I'll have to start all over.......8-)
Cheers,
John
