large, but an unfortunate combination of dimensions: 14x28. There was, however, a very entertaining first octave boost in the rear corners of the room.

I'm stuck with a 13 x 14 room. Fortunately, there's a 6' wide entrance which leads to a larger hall, breaking up the modes in the direction the Maggies are facing -- bass is much smoother with the speakers on that axis than the other way.
I swear I'll have a really nice listening room before I die . . .
Our current 11x11x21 bedroom, where I had a less-evolved system, was tops. I seem to recall "near field" being thrown around those days. We had the system there so our two cats wouldn't chew the wires or speaker grills during the day while we were at work.
It was only because of a flood in the bedroom that we moved the system out to the main area. I was having a party that weekend so I had set up the speakers where there was space to do so - man was I shocked at how big everything sounded and how smooth the bass was. The kicker was that my wife approved!
Three speakers, four amps, and five years on, this is where I'm at and its sounding it's best.
In my current space, speaker and bass trap position was optimized using measurements. While a third octave response doesn't tell the entire story, it is valuable for establishing a neutral sounding basis in the bottom octaves.
