My control room is 13.5x25x10.
I love it. Wish my personal one could be this big! Is very very dead though. Potentially I think too dead.

Freaks out most people when they are in here its so quiet. Its good for hearing reverb though. Which is important as the concert hall is VERY wet.

Two thoughts: 1. Diffusion is your friend. I use about 2000 LPs! Too much absorption is your enemy because it absorbs way more top than bottom. You want flat response diffused reflections. 2. I avoid ported speakers. The bass wanders all over the place when you move them even a couple inches. I agree with John that facing the wide wall works really well. Sitting here with a side wall covered with 12 x 22 ft of book cases I do have to say you have to put some effort in your arrangement of books ect to achieve diffusion these days. Modern book publishing has sure moved to a single cookie cutter size ! I’ll add this, If you securely anchor bookcases to the wall sure adds mass and can help with isolation as well.
