Square room Soundstage??


I have a small 8 1/2 by 8 1/2 room. I am have been trying to get a soundstage in the room with no luck.

Has anyone had success with getting a good soundstage in a square room. Would room treatments be helpful in your experience? Or am I pushing my luck because of the small square room?

Thanks

Yeah. I am glad that might not be my equipment. I did somehow manage to get a crazy soundstsge in the room onetime. It was a weird situation late at night. My amp was picking up noise from just turning my light switch on/off. I still dont know if my amp has problem (recap), or power is not good enough. At least know the equipment is capable.

I using older Exposue XV Super, Exposure wire, System Audio 505s, cheap record player, Marantz 5004 cd player. Want to upgrading turntable to Rega RP3.

First I need to get this sound stage working. I pulled out everthing to a large room to see if I can get better results.
Just dont know how to know if I having problems due too poor room or amp having issues. The amp is old but people speak highly of the amp. It does seem to have great dynamics and musical factor. plus a nice phono stage. I know with a sound stage I will be very happywith this amp. My first attemt at Hi Fi. I am willing to re cap if nessary.
Equipment is minor. The equipment plays the room. First configure the best way to place the speakers. Then worry about equipment.
Apart from DIY, atsacoutics has the cheapest panels and corner traps that I've seen.
Try near field listening as much is as possible in a room that size. Also smaller monitor speakers.
