Which Room is Best Between These Two


I have a nice system currently set up in a small spare bedroom.  The system is made up of an integrated amp, CD player, and larger stand mount monitors.  The room is 10'-11" wide by 11'-1" long with 8' ceilings.  So not that big. The speakers are set up along the 10'-11" wall due to layout.  Being almost perfectly square I feel the room is a limiting factor for this set up.  

We have another small spare bedroom rectangular in set up that has dimensions of 9'-3" wide by 13'-2" long also with 8' ceilings.  The thought crossed my mind that this might be a better room to set up in being rectangular in shape.  But the narrow width concerns me.  I could probably set up along either a short wall or a long wall.  

The negative side to a change in room is all of the moving of furniture and system.  But if it will create a better environment that would be a worthy consideration.

Does this size rectangular room/proportion present a better environment?  If so, would you set up the speakers on the long wall or the short wall?

My room is almost exact same size. I've tried it both ways and speakers on the long wall won out.
