Great, had I known who you are I would have been more gentle. As you can imagine, I see this ALL the time. Four years it was an uphill battle just to get people to understand they need acoustic treatment at all. Nowadays folks are more sophisticated, and perhaps as many as 1 in 10 of audiophiles now know they need to address their room. Versus 1 in 100 four years ago. But they still don't understand that bass traps and other acoustic treatment varies much more than which CD player etc you have.
> The question is - how you treat a 7.2 channel room ? Those darn speakers are everywhere ! <
The same as any other room, except you have more first reflection points on the side walls and ceiling. So, as always, you want as much bass trapping as possible. But the first reflection panels can be thinner / cheaper since they don't need to be effective to as low a frequency.
> Do I need to put fibeglass between the layers of the sheer rock I am erecting to build the wall which separated the room ? <
Yes, though that's a completely different issue.
