Audio room dimensions


I have and area in my basement where I'm going to build my audio room and have a couple of options. The easiest by far is to build the room to 12'9" by about 16' perhaps a few inches less on the 16. Or, 12'9" by about 19'. The latter will require I do some serious surgery to the area at the bottom of the stairs where the door at the bottom of the basement is. My question is: will the smaller room seriously compromise the sound vs. the larger room? The finished ceiling height will be about 7'. Thanks.

My room is in the basement as well and close to the dimensions you have, 14x20x7. The one thing I really really wish for (in the next house..) is a higher CEILING. While movies sound a-ok, seeing that Hollywood has no clue how to mix a soundtrack, audio feels a bit constrained. Still good, but could be a more open sound with higher ceilings.
