i have 2 rooms to choose from and maybe $700 to spend...

one is 9 x 10. i favor this room as a choice there are 3 doors and a little vent into another room, but there are no widows and is the innermost room in the apartment. there is no radiator either. (i harbor dislike for radiators. a lot.) the obvious problems are that the room is small and almost square.

the other room is 10x 14...but there is a 3 x 4 closet which takes from the room and in the opposite corner there is a friggin radiator. on top of these grievances, there are 2 windows. i live in new york and near a train...so...i hear the train. frequently. technically i can hear it in either room and will have to work around it in either case, but it is mugch less of an issue in the first room.

both have reflective floors...i figure a rug should do the trick...o yeah, while i am on the topic; the floors are dingy and i REALLY want to install laminate. bad choice?

i will record guitar and vocals. and i will work with a bunch of stuff "in the box" (reason, logic, etc)

i have looked at GIK and Readytrap and know they are good options and that i can call them and all that jazz. i will. but i like forums.

and suggestions for speaker stands would be great.
