room size question.

( wasnt sure what category to put this in ,so figured this one would get more views)

 

in watching some you tube videos, one from Jays audio lab, and another one from Paul ( ps audio ), they both mention how the speakers should be set up in the room and it seems they bring them out into the room quite a bit.    they say that when this happens, you have the soundstage and jay was mentioning that there are layers that one gets to hear when listening.

my question i guess is that can this same thing happen in a smaller room, say 12x12 or is one just limited to say center imaging due to room size ?

room is treated

 

this is the ps audio video

Thx for your comment which I do like. Your notes inspired me to dig a bit further into the topic. The information under the following link is very interesting to me. Basically the same what you are stipulating regarding room reflextions in your above post.

Think of your speaker as a floodlight and your walls as mirrors.  AS you get more and more reflections the light itself gets more and more confusing as to source and direction, etc.  With enough reflections, you could actually be confused as to where the light originates.   Sort of the parallel to the "house of mirrors" in old fun houses where you lose what is real and what is a reflection.
