Small space listening room

How many of you have grown tired of your equipment being out in the open for all hands (my grandbabies) to touch and just decided to use a small spare room to set up your (SERIOUS) listening space? Yeah I know small rooms aren't ideal, but I moved my stuff from the living room to a spare bedroom. I have a home theater set up in the living room and can also listen to music (as background filler) when the family or guests are over. But to do focused listening I've retreated. Except for the subwoofer, turntable and speakers, all other gear (power and headphone amps, computer, DAC, preamp and power conditioner) is tucked away in the closet. It's tight. My speakers and listening seat form a 6 and a half foot triangle in a 10 by 12 foot room. I thought things were good. Then I jumped on the Synergistic Research HFT and FEQx4 train and I'll never look back. An added bonus, I found if I temporarily remove HFT's from my speakers and place them on my headphones, they have the same effect on the cans as they do on the room, more spacious, focused and detailed. What's your small room listening experience?
