Opened adjacent rooms can be a big plus according to a number of speaker designers (including a couple of well known designers) I have spoken to. In fact this point is important enough that I'm sure I make note of it in my Inmate Systems descriptions. It is my understanding that adjacent rooms work best (can actually serve as an effective bass trap!) for bass response when they are "clearly defined spaces" so as to minimize bass reflections to the primary room. In other words, a wide open adjacent space without clear boundaries dividing it from the listening room will not be as effective. Likewise, an adjacent room in which the opening is too small (like a regular sized door opening) will not work well either. I'm no expert, but this is what I've been told by those who are experts.
