Loft as a listening space?


I'm thinking of moving to an apt. with a 25ft cathedral ceiling. It has the typical L shaped living/dining room configuration. I'm considering making the upstairs loft (8x10ft) into the 2ch listening area. Two sides are open - as it hovers over the living/dining room areas. I have monitors and sub. Will this be an audio nightmare or can it be made to work?

the open 2 sides will play havoc with the stereo balance - you need the walls to the sides of the speakers to be similar if not identical. you might be able to help things enough to be tolerable by building a reflecting panel/wall segment to place at the side of the speaker that lacks a side wall.

(I used to live in a loft space that had this issue, although with different variables than yours)
