Had you emailed me that's exactly what I'd have told you.

My question is: most people don't have that kind of DEPTH (21') to work with. In altering these plans (to say a max of 14') what DEPTH would you recommend.
Actually, that's addressed in the article where the advice is to scale the dimensions. But in your case that would leave you with a very low ceiling, so it's better to pick a more appropriate ratio. Use my mode calculator program here:

Or just look at the screen shot and you can read the eight "recommended" ratios off that.

Also, would you change the angles at all, and placement of diffusors and bass trapping?
Well, you can make any room sound good with enough treatment. If you have a small space to start with, I'd skip the angles because that just makes it smaller still.

I think it would be helpful to many folks if you could base a design on a standard bedroom type of depth as 21' just isn't realistic for most.
That was meant for a basement studio. Otherwise, just use my ModeCalc. Then again, most people who are using bedrooms don't have the luxury of building and moving walls anyway.
