Optimum size for music room?


I hope this is not a silly question, so here goes.........
I may have the opportuneaty to build a room purely for music at the bottom of my yard. Is there an optimum size I should be aiming for, or is bigger better when it comes to room size? My speakers are Oris 150's and are 30" wide, 26" deep and 5' high approx. Also what about the height of the room?. Suggestions thoughts would be very much appreciated fellow goners'.

If you search the internet for "golden cuboid" you will find many discussions about the "perfect room". Note especially the Cardas site as well as many others. I have never had the opportunity to build a dedicated room so my equipment had to adjust to the room dimensions. In my mind the most important criteria would be non-parallel walls, enough distance from the front wall for your speakers to image well, acoustical treatment for reflections, dedicated power, and sound-proofing from extraneous noises. I hope you get to build it. Let us know how it works out. A real "man cave"??
