My room 12'x 9' with 8' ceilings will it sound OK?


Hello,
I am building a new house and have an extra room I don't know what to do with! The room dimensions are 12'x 9' with 8' ceilings. I was hoping I can make a listening room that will only be used for 2 channel SACD & CD listening. I am very worried with these small dimensions the sound will be totally wrong. I did not purchase any electronics for this room yet. I am currently into home theater more than 2 channel audio but always wanted a room for critically listening to my favorite music. I will have a dedicated home theater/family room also. If anyone has a room like mine please let me know how it sounds! Any information you give me is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx A. Lot
Eddie

It will take some effort, but should work fine. Recommend setting up for "nearfield", ie, couch or chair against one wall and speakers more or less in the middle of the room, or even closer to you than middle of the room. You will probably want absorptive coverings on the walls at all the first-reflection points since the walls are so close, and a few diffusors as well.
