Square room with vaulted ceilings


What are your feelings on a square room with vaulted ceilings? I know square rooms are bad, but does the vaulted ceiling help matters? The room is 16' x 16', but I'm not sure how high the ceiling is. The walls are probably around 8' high and the ceiling is probably somewhere around 16' high at the peak. Would it be best to stay away from turning this into a listening room or can it work well?

Thanks in advance for any help!

My "audio room" has a cathedral ceiling (same thing as vaulted?) 8'-11' high. I think it sounds fine, though I do not crank the volume to extremes. But I have been told by an expert that the ceiling can act as a horn and should be treated at the seam with broadband absorption panels. I haven't tried this as I prefer sleeping in our bed rather than one of the stalls in our barn.
