Garage into listening room?

So I'm thinking of trying to put a stereo into my garage and use it as my main listening room.  It's apx 20x25 with about an18 foot ceiling.  It's not finished.  

If I set up in an equilateral triangle, say 8 to 10 feet, in the middle of the garage, would that eliminate the need for acoustic treatment?  And if I need treatment, I was thinking of putting a carport frame into the garage and using it to support acoustic treatment.

I wish I had thought of trying this out during the weekend versus on my drive into work this morning.  

Would this work?

Thanks.

@audiodwebe ,

just go for it. I did. My shop is 30x40, 12' ceiling, 16' in the lift area. Fully insulated and sheathed. Temp controlled.

When i met my now wife, got married, and she moved into my house, I lost the privilege  of listening to my system. I had to comprise, so I built two shops. Is it treated? No. I final assemble/restore classic vehicles, so my system is in a ''clean'' area. Treatment right now consists of a 64 vette, 57 shortbed, and the remainder of shop stuff. I do take time out to do some ''critical'' listening, but usually just position my speakers where i'm working to get the best results. I welded up some speaker stands,roughly three feet tall, on full swivel rubber casters. Klipsch Forte III, modified, ARC Ref 5se, Ref 75se, Aurender A15, ethernet, muon filter. I love it.

Do it. Enjoy it. Listen to the music and live. Life can be short.

good luck
