[Dream] Recommend Me Some Monitors

[Vladimir Mu]

A square footprint is just about the worst possible thing for a  
studio room, especially when it is only a few (8) feet across. A long  
and narrow (tunnel-like) room is also really bad - I had this with my  
previous setup: it was like a textbook case of a low-frequency  
standing wave.  Ideally, the room should have no parallel walls,  
unequal obtuse angles in the corners, and a slanted ceiling. An  
irregular pentagon shape usually works.
