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 think the room could sound very good. Dimensions are similar to mine

I would try putting the speakers on the long wall and listen in near field. In my room my speakers are 18" off the wall and 8.5’ apart. I listen about 8’ away and about 9" off the back wall. It will help if your speakers can go close to the wall of course

Some treatment behind the listening position will also help. You can see how in my room I use ASC sound bars but there are many other options

also please use a natural (wool) rug. I’ve tried acrylic rugs and they sound terrible, it will cost a bit more but look for a nice thick one on sale
