Square room with vaulted ceilings

Give it a try...what is there to loose?

Do you have another option? If not, make the best of what you have.

I have a 12'X12' room with a vaulted ceiling (and another with a 7' planar/flat ceiling) and no particular problems I could relate with either, other than I might like the room to be larger. REctangular is a bonus maybe but not a show stopper. A room is what it is. If you have flexibility in locating the speakers optimally for your listening position, that is of course a bonus.

Vaulted ceilings will generally make a room sound different, often better from an openness and sound staging perspective , particularly if the ceiling is angled rather than planar.

Mapman,
Thanks for the response. This room is in a house that I'm looking at, so unfortunately I can not give it a try! I'm glad that you're getting good results in your square room, though. That's promising.
Any other thoughts?

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.
