Small Size Room


Hi everyone!, This is my first time here in audiogon and it looks very interesting and informative. I've been playing around with my system for quite a while and just like most of us, my equiptment had been upgraded several times trying to get the best sound. however, I learned that no matter how sophisticated the system is, if the room size is not big enough, you wont't get the best sound quality.
My room size is 17'x 12' and ceiling is only 7.5' with
speakers BW n802. I've been thinking of opening the right side wall to the adjacent bedroom which is 11'x12 to make my music room bigger and it will become an "L" shape.
My question is, would it make a big diffirence ? would i get better headroom? better in overall sound quality? in other words, is it worth doing it?

I appreciate any suggestion.

Thanksa million,
tonusa

My second system is in a room of this size, it sounds very good. Do you have WAF on speaker setup in this room? That can be a big problem in a room this size. What is your system? With room tweaks and proper speaker size as well as placement, you may be able to be very happy with this room after all. I would call your room more in the med. range of room size. If you must place your speakers against or close to the rear wall, you may want to try a long wall setup, this can sometimes make a big change. It does in my room.
Sorry Tonusa, WAF (wife acceptance factor), aka: will she let you put your speakers were they sound best.
