GIK Vicoustic and others

I started work on my basement room which will be used exclusively for 2 channel stereo 

It's quite small 14 x 11 but that's all I got to work with. 

What is the best way to position speakers? Along the long wall or the short wall? 

Would Sonus Faber Ellipsa overload this small room? 

I got two 20 amp receptacles and two 15 amp for other things 

I'm looking into proper acoustic treatments and was wondering which company is best for price and quality  

Also, are there specific recommendations for dry wall and insulation ? Do I Insulate the ceiling or just walls?  It's a small room, I am concerned about making it too dead. What about ceiling ?

I have a dedicated room the same size and I added 12 GIK 242 panels (4 front wall, 4 back wall and a pair each side wall) which made a nice difference. I emailed with them a few times and sent them pics and REW measurements. For my budget they recommended their 242 panel so that's what I got. 

I have a pair of Aurum Cantus V7F speakers and when I play it loud then yeah it starts to overload the room a bit but I don't play them that loud ever. I tried putting the system on the long wall first then tried the short wall and that's the way it stayed.
