Square room Soundstage??

Just dont know how to know if I having problems due too poor room or amp having issues. The amp is old but people speak highly of the amp. It does seem to have great dynamics and musical factor. plus a nice phono stage. I know with a sound stage I will be very happywith this amp. My first attemt at Hi Fi. I am willing to re cap if nessary.

Equipment is minor. The equipment plays the room. First configure the best way to place the speakers. Then worry about equipment.

Apart from DIY, atsacoutics has the cheapest panels and corner traps that I've seen.

Try near field listening as much is as possible in a room that size. Also smaller monitor speakers.
