Hello, and thanks for all the great help I've gotten from reading on this forum. I'm building myself a new studio here in Oslo, Norway. The materiales is all bought in, at a cost of $15000(Norway is expensive). That could have been used on some really nice gear, but I really think if I get this build right, it will be well worth it! I would love to have a good sounding workplace:) Would someone help me get there? Here is what I'm thinking.

But i have a few questions, so here they are. 1. How does it look? Something I would be wise to change? 2. The monitors are dynaudio bm15a, they have a lf trim on the back that can start a cut at 300hz and goes down to 50hz 6db down. How will this work in a softmount? And how does my softmount design look? Is it better to lift the speakers higher and angle them down?

3. The angles of the side walls is 12*, is this a good angle? 4. I'm thinking of a wood/textile(over 4inch 50kg/m3 absorption panels). Is this a good idea? If not, what would be?

Thank you so much!
Bump.. Anyone? Is there anything missing from my post? Is that why I'm not getting any reply? Thanks, hope to get an input on my design soon:)
Good to see a fellow Norwegian here :) I'm a novice, so I won't be having much constructive inputs on the design per se, but just a couple of questions. Regarding the soffit mounts, assuming the speakers are active, have you thought of ventilation/cooling? Change of temperatures could perhaps impact the sound and lifespan of the speakers. How are the walls and hangers going to be constructed? Also, a description of the rooms would be helpful. Are the rooms in either corner to be used as liverooms/booths?
