I didn't read the entire thread, but enough to get the gist...

This guy admits he's tone deaf, but he's likely also a good fabricator, is not afraid of large-scale work and seems willing to listen. Doesn't that make him a potentially good source for someone who knows what they want and can supply a set of plans; someone looking to do a custom listening room or even a pair of bass horns? 
 
On top of that, he's from Michigan (!), home of some of the best fabricators, prototype builders and generally sincere people in the world. Granted, he'd have been better received had he simply come out and proposed his services as a skilled fabricator, willing to listen.

Hi Jess:

I know for a fact I am sorry to have posted as I did as it turned out the gentleman sounded genuine. So if you are still reading this, Mr Edwards, my sincere apologies.

But his first post was rather poor form and when he had no response, he deliberately provoked controversy in his second post asking whether amongst other things, people who had read his post were either without understanding of this area or without interest.

Truth is I have myself been looking at building a listening room where I was hoping to avoid parallel walls and treat the unavoidable corners, so this guy was not exactly preaching to the unconverted. I was looking at 'Isorast', an ICF build developed by a German company that enables designing part of a house without square corners. (On top of which, the house could be specified to conform to the Passivhaus standards but that's a completely separate topic for another forum, but it would have enabled me to do my bit for the environment).

But as you put it rather mildly, it was some very 'clumsy first steps' indeed.

Regards
Rakesh
