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 might be better to have dual usage in the family/HT room. These dimensions are small and their proportions aren't very good. However, if you really need a "get away" room--you can do some work on it and make it work, but it's not easy. Depending on your family/HT room, you may want to maximize it's potential--but I recognize there could some other issues there that I don't know about. Feel free to contact us, we may be able to offer you some advice on what makes sense in your situation. You can also visit our website and you may find some useful resources there too at the Listening Room, which is a basic tutorial on some room acoustic issues.
