Tiny Dedicated Listening Room-Acoustics Forum-Acoustic Fields Forum

I know everything about this room size is bad, bad, bad, but it’s what I have to work with, so I’ll make do.

My spare bedroom that I plan on turning into a dedicated listening room is 10′ W x 11′ L with 8′ ceilings. Ugh, I know.

The gear however will be really efficient Omega full range driver speakers, with a 2.5 watt tube amp, run by a small DAC.

I currently have a fleet of high density CNC wire cut diffusers, but I feel they add their styro sound to the reflections in the room.

So I’ll be building some QRD 13 (or bigger) diffusers, as deep as I can considering the distance between the speakers and the walls, and the seating position and diffusers.

Dennis, any recommendations on bass trap for this sized room? I understand it’s just impossible to “fix”, but what about….”make less bad”? LOL

Also, I’m curious what you think about audio racks and their location in the room. I know most people like to plant their big rack of gear right between the speakers, and to me this just messes up the soundstage. But then again, not many listeners have really heard a properly treated room and even know what really good imaging, soundstage, and frequency response is!
