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,

Thanks guys, I appreciate the suggestions. I would certainly checkout the cara software. About my room setup, I do have carpeted floor over a concrete and drywall all around including ceiling. my door is a french door which has glass on both but covered with a thick drape. a leather couch about 2' in front of the door.
My system is:
B&W N802-Front
B&W htm1-Center
klipsch- rear
lexicon mc12-controller
lexicon nt225 amp
citation 7.1 amp
pioneer 47a dvd player
zenith 3 gun front projector.

I'm gonna try to take some pics of my HT so i can post it here.
As far as WAF setup, please fill me up since I don't know exactly what it meant.

Again, Thanks a million,

That's OK Sogood51, actually WAF is not a problem. my speakers are along the short wall which is covered with
stewart screen and because of the way I setup my projector, I can't put my speakers along the long wall.
The biggest challenge I'm having is my speakers are right underneath a beam about a foot down from the ceiling. is this causing the lack of headroom? I tried to experiment by moving my speakers forward and backward just to avoid the beam, but its not giving the headroom that I hear from my system in family room.
