Room Acoustics question:


My listening room dimensions are: 30 x 20 with 8.5 ft. ceilings. The floor is concrete slab with thick carpet. Would this room be considered good or poor for acoustics?

Depends:: and Depends.
If you're talking 'bare room' without anything in it, you can make it go either way. Lots of windows? Flat ceiling? Willing to install / tune room treatments?

above would be good place to start. You'll see that any room dimension of 1.5x another will produce same frequency results.
this is standing waves which result in loud/boomy or 'suckout' or lack of a specific frequency....some people will complain of 'lack of bass' in this case.

At over 5000ft3, it is a fairly large space. If you like it LOUD, you'll also need more juice or more sensitive speakers. Don't rely on a single sub, you'll need at least a PAIR, located asymmetrically.
Dynamite room,can do alot, I can't help,but you will do it with some R&D on the computer,its all here.....good luck,Bob
