PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good?

OK.....long story short, i finally got my spare room in the basement back......so i have a PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h rectangle room.

what do you guys think of turning this into a critical 2chl room...without treatment? I have the current system in in open spaced living room right now. The sound is fine, but the TV is also in that room, and i rarely have a chance to listen to my system. So before i move it downstairs, i want to know if it is worth it. Thanks in advance!

My gear:

ATC SCM20 Monitors
Onix UFW-12 Subwoofer
Kavent S-11 Tube Preamplifier (Rebadged Vincent SA-T1)
Kavent P-2200 Class A Monoblocks (Rebadged Vincent SP-991)
Shengya CD-S10CS Tube CD Player (Rebadged Vincent CD-S6MK)

My 10*18 room has just 3 very small windows up top since its a basement room. I do not think its a concrete room and the floor is carpeted.

Another issue with this room is that i must put integrate the sub into it as well.....

AHHHHHHH....this is a Pain in the a##......but i might as well try it and use the cardas rule as a general approach.

forgot to mention that this is a fully closed room on its own....so basically a pure enclosed rectangle box with a door.

Any basement room will have concrete or stone under whatever is used inside the walls. Floor is likewise concrete, no matter what you are walking on.
Also, you never mentioned the ceiling. Open joists? Drop ceiling w/acoustic tiles?
With 9feet of ceiling you might be able either build a subfloor or treat the ceiling....or both.
It's going to be a pretty LIVE space unless properly treated.
