If the room is the thing, how do I fix this?

I am moving to a new place. It would be nice to have a golden ration room, 10 X 16 X 26, but it isn't happening at this time. The only room I have is either in the living room with all sorts of stuff around, including a television, or a 10 X 11 room. I think it is going to be the 10 X 11 room with an 8 foot ceiling.

What can I do to improve the acoustics of a small room?

I own two pairs of Shakti Hallographs in a big room. They are the biggest bang for my buck to date! I first heard these in the small hotel rooms at CES 2005 and 2006 and the rooms just seemed to disappear.
Good luck!

Square-ish rooms suck. Avoid the cube if you can. Try diagonal speaker placement if you have to live w/that room.
You have a better shot at balancing absorption & diffusion with your living room & furnishings, and a couple of treatments than being able to overcome square dimensions. Cheers,
