thanks for the response , what would you consider to be a large room for mixing/monitoring at home?

I don't really want a live performance area so much as a control room with as big a sweet-spot as possible. If I get a house a 500-800 sq ft room is pretty big and should help provide a good listening environment with some treatment.....

also what is an optimal room shape? Is a long rectangular room considered preferable versus a perfectly square room when they both have the same square footage?

Is there something I can listen for in a room when i go to look at a house or something to look for in the construction of a room?
