I'm planning on having a house built in next 2-3 years and need a little advice; although I definitely plan to include a dedicated media room for movies and music, I would also like a library. I don't want the house to be to big because I don't feel like spending all my time cleaning it. Anyway, my question is this: Would shelves(most likely along both side walls to give sound equal treatment)with books and such on the shelves act as diffusers or would the empty spaces in the shelves above books and at ends of shelves tend to act as a trap? If this wouldn't work well in the room I will not put the bookshelves in there but unfortunately they are not going to get their own room. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dom
