PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good?

OK.....long story short, i finally got my spare room in the basement back......so i have a PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h rectangle room.

what do you guys think of turning this into a critical 2chl room...without treatment? I have the current system in in open spaced living room right now. The sound is fine, but the TV is also in that room, and i rarely have a chance to listen to my system. So before i move it downstairs, i want to know if it is worth it. Thanks in advance!

My gear:

ATC SCM20 Monitors
Onix UFW-12 Subwoofer
Kavent S-11 Tube Preamplifier (Rebadged Vincent SA-T1)
Kavent P-2200 Class A Monoblocks (Rebadged Vincent SP-991)
Shengya CD-S10CS Tube CD Player (Rebadged Vincent CD-S6MK)

wow, thanks newbee and undertow...

i was thinking the same thing too. The soundstage would collapse in there....

However, i did a quick research and found the "golden ratio" from Cardas Audio. http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_id=26&pagestring

I was thinking about trying this...Do you have any opinions on it? It seems that i would have around 4-5feet breathing space between the ATC speakers and have a fairly good depth.

My 10*18 room has just 3 very small windows up top since its a basement room. I do not think its a concrete room and the floor is carpeted.

Another issue with this room is that i must put integrate the sub into it as well.....

AHHHHHHH....this is a Pain in the a##......but i might as well try it and use the cardas rule as a general approach.

forgot to mention that this is a fully closed room on its own....so basically a pure enclosed rectangle box with a door.
