Small Room. Go for it or forget about it?


Well I am up against a wall.... Literally... I have been forced into a 12' x 12' room. Will be a monitor/tube setup. The more I read about small rooms, the more discouraged I am to even bother setting up a system. Please help restore faith!! I have been looking into Manley gear/ Proac/ Sonus Faber

Any insight would be fantastic

There are speakers that will work in small rooms. Small and front ported would be some general guidelines. Sonus Faber has some nice ones, you might check into single drivers also. That's where I ended up getting the best sound in my 12 x 14 home office.
Good reason to play with 3-7 watt amps. You won't need much power. My office is only 6 watts/ch, my one home system is 20 watts into 94db speakers.
Azshawn,

I went from a 22'x18' dedicated room to a 10'x15' room. I listen in the near field and the speakers are about five feet to the left and right of me. My listening chair is right up against the back wall.

There are three other members I know who use this same set up with great results (we all have the same speakers).
I like my listening room so much that I have canceled plans to build a larger dedicated room.
I had a sound engineer from the pro audio business help design my room.

If you decide to go that route shoot me an email and I will fill you in.
