The ceiling in my listening room is arced. The room is a smallish rectangle. The arc is low on the long sides of the room. The speakers fire down the long way, so facing the speakers the top to the arc is along the same axis the speakers are firing.At the low height the ceiling about the common 7 feet and arcs up to about 9 feet. On the one hand I will have less standing wave reflections but I'm wondering if it will beam or focus sound waves.
Comments? Thoughts?
(There are other factors with my particular setup, but I want to keep the focus mostly on this one issue).
Thanks,

In general you'd be better off with arched ceilings IMO. It's simplest to do the math for a rectangular room, but that doesn't mean a rectangular room is the best room :)
In my old house I had my system on oblique angles to the walls of a L shaped room with a cathedral ceiling. Even tho there was no symmetry to be found it imaged well because I made sure all first reflections were at least 10 feet longer than the direct path.

It's like a cathedral ceiling. It can create echoes, but a lot is dependent on the nature of the curve and other construction techniques. In general I find an arched or curved ceiling to be beneficial.

I have a lot of 'armchair' experience but not much real comparison. I think the room sounds better than it should for the size. I know parallel surfaces are generally not a good idea, which a curved surface avoids.
