Can good soundstage be had in small room

I have a rather small living room measured at about 11 x 18 feet. I currently have a modest set up that does a good job at replaying music, but I think I am ready to move up.

The problem is that since my room is pretty small, even if I get a nice system, I won't be able to get good soundstage regardless how good the equipments are.

With the room as it is right now, to maintain a listening position of about 9ft from the speakers, the best I can do is to place the speakers at about 1.5 from the front wall, and even then I have to sit right up to the back wall.

So my question is can I get a nice soundstage given the limited space between my speakers and the front wall?

Your room is not that small and you should be able to achieve very good results with the right equipment and set-up. My "office" at home is only about 15 x 13 and i get an amazing amount of soundstaging with that system. Then again, i'm running omni's for speakers, so that helps a lot in terms of "spaciousness" of sound. Sean
