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'.

I did a room years ago, but it is long gone. However, one of the issues was always do you put your speakers, current or future on the long wall. Most put them on the short wall to give the room depth. I did a 23 foot wide, 30 feet deep arrangement and ceilings that started 9 feet at the speaker wall and 11 feet at the back wall. Yes I did all the calucations and why the actual room was not design perfect, it sounded perfect. Getting at least a 22 foot wide room is a must. It gives a wide stage and you can reinfoce that if you do a 'center fill'.
