room size question.

( wasnt sure what category to put this in ,so figured this one would get more views)

 

in watching some you tube videos, one from Jays audio lab, and another one from Paul ( ps audio ), they both mention how the speakers should be set up in the room and it seems they bring them out into the room quite a bit.    they say that when this happens, you have the soundstage and jay was mentioning that there are layers that one gets to hear when listening.

my question i guess is that can this same thing happen in a smaller room, say 12x12 or is one just limited to say center imaging due to room size ?

room is treated

 

this is the ps audio video

As @jond mentioned you might try a corner set up. My 2 channel set up is a corner set up in a room not much bigger than yours. Excellent soundstage and image. Good luck!

I had a professional acoustician design my room and I built it while my speakers were being built. Check out my system on my page. 100 percent absorption. I have no reflective surfaces (actually there is no drywall inside the room)   besides the door behind the chair. I hear the direct sound from the speakers. The room is probably considered dead by most standards. The sound is phenomenal ! Wide soundstage, amazing center image. A consultation from a professional would be worth your time. I used Jeff at hdacoustics. He is superb. Good luck!
