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

I'm in the process of setting up a basement listening room. The dimensions are 14'x 12'x 8'. Bought used Marantz seperates, Technics SL-P4 CDP and JM Lab Chorus 705 Spks. Briefly set-up system for a quick listen and it sounded great! I really don't think you will have any major issues which can't be overcome "with enough money!" You'll be able to buy small monitor spks. and lower-powered amplification. The room size should help w/the bass. I hope you're able to place spks. on the long wall. Lastly, since this will be your own "retreat/sanctuary" this should make everything sound even better! Lots of extremely fine equipment choices out there. Good Luck! Bill
