Is my room going to suck


I am looking for any advise for the room I am being banished to. Planning on doing this within the next couple of weekends. Currently I have an not ideal setup as I have a 7 month old that goes to bed at 7:00 and and our living room is open to the stairway and her room is right at the top. The other room is descent at around 16x22 but speakers and equipment would be in front of the fireplace so wife says no go. 
My best option is to move into the basement and rig it out best I can. Room is 15Lx8.5Wx10H with concrete floor and side walls. Just looking for suggestions on best way to wrangle the best sound out of here as possible. 
Thanks

I agree with the long wall/near field, a rug...Room sounds 'live', although that can a positive with some speakers.  I'm a big fan of active eq and 'going flat' in spaces like yours.  Your sub will definitely 'rule the room', so keep it leashed. ;)  Some restrained treatments would help, but those are always long term experiments....

May as well make it 'kewl' to look at, since it sounds already like a retreat. ;)   As with the 'newbie' about, I'd be surprised if you couldn't use one....*G*

Both of you. *L*
