Need Help on Dedicated Listening Room


I searched the forum, but no specific info to my problem.
So here is my scenerio.
Room Size: 13' x 11.5' with 10' ceiling.
Speakers: Infinity Composition Model P-FR.
(expect to upgrade to Martin Logan Ascent, Aeon, or Scenario)
Type of Music: Female Vocal like Jacintha, Patricia Kraas, Diana Krall, and I don't listen to loud music.
I have a budget about $2K to tune the room.
My questions:
1) Is the room too small for the present and future speakers?
2) Can I do it with $2K budget?
3) Do you have any suggestion?
Thank You:
Alan

The Alton Everest books are great--already mentioned. There are two things I would add to some of the above comments. First--I am biased on both of these as we manufacture one and sell the other. The first is the PARC parametric adaptive room compensation system that works on bass modes only (it does not operate above 350 Hz and we generally recommend that it only be used below 200 Hz). You can see more about it at www.rivesaudio.com/PARC The second is the CARA software, which is very nice to simulate the changes of speaker placement and different treatment options.
