Room acoustics

I'm searching for a new house to live in, and one of the criteria is a nice
room to be used as a dedicated stereo room (2 channel). I'm looking at one
house that doesn't have a room yet, but has the space for it. It's a
prewired for power and prevented for HVAC. Basically an unfinished bonus
room over the garage.
The problem is, it's not exactly a rectangle shape. Although it is
symmetrical. But I just don't know how the shape of the room might affect
the acoustics. Basically it has 2 rafters that would jut below the ceiling
at one end of the room (this could be either the listening end or speaker
end). I don't have photos, which I could get next time I look at the house,
but in the meantime is there a starting point for me to learn more about the
negative (or positive) affects of these sorts of room idiosynchrasies?
Nothing you have mentioned so far suggests any acoustical problems.
Dimensions and construction/materials are more important.
