Marriage and lifestyle changes and all that, and I've moved out of this place (my first SOS post I think), on to a bigger home but a rather unsatisfactorily small music room only 375cm by 272cm by 242 cm high. Here's a pic.



I haven't run modecalc on those dimensions yet, but I will. I have 4 mini traps and some Auralex, which I'll suitably place.

I had KRK Rokit 8s in the old place. I'm guessing they are too big for the new room, so I rashly bought a lightly-used pair of Klein and Hummel O110s on ebay. They haven't shown up yet.

So anyways, is proper bass monitoring possible in small rooms? The range of stuff I like to work on includes hip-hop and dance music, so I'd like more bass than I expect out of the K&Hs. If I were to pair a sub (with crossover) with the O110s, would the bass be just as problematic in the small room as with a pair of 8' woofers, or worse?

I fully expect to be told by you lot to go out and get some proper headphones, so I'm eyeballing the Sennheisers that have been recommended elsewhere, but if it's in any way possible to get pumping bass in this shoebox, I'd sure like to.

thoughts?
