Ceiling Height


In terms of sonic importance, how vital is room ceiling height? My listening room is a converted basement, and the ceilings are only 7'. Is this normally a disadvantage? If so, what is optimal? Does extra ceiling height confer any sonic advantage? Sorry for the silly question, but this is an area of room setup that I don't understand very well. TIA.

Nrchy: The overall dimensions are approximately 25 x 20 x 7. With a little treatment (bass traps, Echo Buster panels, etc.), the room actually sounds pretty well balanced--there don't seem to be any glaringly obvious problems--but I'm not sure if the dimensions fit the "golden ratio," or whatever they call it.
Thanks a lot for the info, Nrchy. Actually, I received the Harley book for Christmas, but I haven't had the time to give it more than a cursory look. I'll dust it off tonight and read the chapter on room tuning. Thanks again!
