Bigger or smaller desk?

Mr. Dreq · 17th October 2006

Hi!

I'm going to buy a new desk for my little studio tomorrow. Would it be better acoustically to get the smaller (120x80cm) or the bigger one (160x80)? I would have to use monitor stands for the small one or place them directly on the big one. I'm using two 20" flat screens and they're taking not too little space.
Would there be a acoustic difference or would it be negligible?

Smaller is better I guess, less reflective surface. Put your monitors on seperate stands anyway, even if you go for the bigger desk!
