Room dimensions - can this work?


I'm finally getting my basement renovated. Unfortunately it looks like my listening room will only be 14 X 12. Will this be big enough?

I'm using an Arcam A32 amp, Totem Forest speakers and a Totem Lightning subwoofer.

All advice is greatly appreciated.

I wish I had your space. My room is 10.5 by 12.5 by 8.4 feet. An excellent system can be built in a smaller room, but smaller rooms have their own challenges.

The trick is to make the room larger acoustically than it is physically. Make the front wall, the two reflection points on each side wall, and the first reflection point on the ceiling acoustically diffusive. Make the back wall absorptive.

A search for "small room" on this site should return much very useful information.
