Small Dedicated Listening Room???


My dedicated listening room is very small (12D x 10W). Because of this I have no choice but to listen in the nearfield. I would like to know if anyone else is challenged with similar listening enviroments and advice one might have reagarding speaker placement, room treatment, tweaks, etc. Thanks...

Jla, I had the same situation until recently, now my room is fairly large. I had good sound in the small room, what worked for me was damping first side wall reflections only. I found that a small room can go dead pretty quick so you have to be careful or you'll get a lifeless sound. You almost need the reflection with minimal damping material, other than carpet. The biggest improvement outside of components and cables was the installation of dedicated lines in both of my rooms, I would recommend that if possible. Good luck.
