Small Room... Big Stereo


All,
I just moved to Munich... which is a good thing I guess.
Any advice on setting up a stereo in a small room (12foot by 12 foot)?
I assume I just tune it, pad it, carpet it.....  it is a f**king echo chamber...
My stereo is showing up in 2 weeks.

Raidho D2.1
Rel Acoustic S510 * 2
AR VT80...
Naim Streamer
Mark Levinson Pre
Rega P8 TT

Any thoughts on the ceiling or other sound proofing would be good.

Thanks

What I gather from a review of your speakers is that the low frequency driver is crossed over @ 150Hz (no slope mentioned) and it's compartmentalized and rear ported).

Not certain if you have one or two REL's, but regardless it would seem that you have a "sort of" subwoofer "swarm" taking place (with two of the subs being rear ported).

Aside from the square room (really bad) it may sound OK if you can place the speakers in a diagonal placement (room corner between the speakers) as already mentioned  by russ69.

If not I would just pop for a pair of nice standmounts (like the new Harbeth P3 - ideally placed on the diagonal) and blend in the REL(s).
