Room too small - any suggestions


I have to temporarily relocate the music to a small room - 10w x 10d x 10h (so I guess it is a cube!). Seating position can be no further than 8 feet from the rear wall (due to room configuration).

System is Sony SCD-1 into BAT 3i and VK60 monoblocks. Yeah it is overkill but it isn't forever. My Vandys are way too big for the room and the bass is a major problem as I can't get much more than 18 inches from the side walls and 2 feet from the rear.

Any suggestions - mainly listen to Jazz. Prefer to keep it under $3K.

Thanks

Merlin TSM"M" are the way to go. Designed as near field monitors for small rooms. Extremely musical, esp with your electronics! USe Cardas/JPS/HT cable throughout(maybe even Silver Audio), use maybe a foam pad for the first reflection points (sides) and carpet the floor, curtains if need be. But thats it, and back you go to metling away walls, and having a wide/deep stage with everything your used to and more! I don't think you'll need a sub, as your room won't really support it.
