New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?

For an average sound room, you don't want any dimension smaller than 15' or so, with the other dimension being at least a couple feet longer. You want to avoid square rooms.

So 15' x 18' would be pretty good for a small pair of speakers, 25' x 19' or something would be better for a larger pair of speakers.

According to the Cardas website it would be 26 X16 X 10. My room gets two of these dimensions dead on, 26 X16 X 8.

Are these dimensions true for nearfield listening also? I ask because, for me, sitting further than 7 or 8 feet from the speakers isn't as thrilling as up close.

Try the GR Research Criterions, I think they are also being built still by RAW Acoustics in Canada. These are very affordable monitors that sound excellent in the nearfield.

Actually Ozzy, your dimensions are very poor, all of them almost all multiples of 8! serious piling up of standing waves at the 8 ft dimension (26 is close enough to 24 to be considered as such). The 26,16,10 works well because none is awhole multiple of any other.
