Can't argue with that! Too small IS too small and that size brings some awful problems of its own. I had my Maggies in a large closet once....about 11 x11x 8 and it was the worst. I had to swap them L/R to get the image correct...
10x18 is pretty small, but not a deal breaker. You're not going to get big speakers in there and you may end up doing a short wall setup and listening near-field, but for a personal listening space it can work. Don't put your back up against a wall, either.
The good news is that you have only so much wall to treat. That will keep expenses down.
The only thing I'd wish for is when starting with a clean sheet of paper, to get the fundamental dimensions right which may help minimize the expense of later treatments.
