Default Need advice for a small room

For me, stereo is about the imaging. I can't tell if my room is down
3db at 400hz, and frankly, I don't care as long as it sounds good. I
don't even go in for room treatment of any sort. Every room, including
a concert hall is going to have peaks and dips. I just live with that.

Right now I have a pair of Apogee Divas in a room that is about
15.5'x25'. Maybe I just got lucky, but I can walk just about anywhere
in the room and the image is locked in place. The only place this fails
is if I stand within a foot directly in front of one of the speakers.

I am planning to move and most of the rooms I am looking at tend to be
on the order of 10-12'. Sometimes they are almost square. I was all
hyped up on one product as a possibility for such a room until I found
out it was more about getting correct response from the room then the
kind of imaging I am after.

So, are there any imaging nuts out there who are dealing successfully
with small rooms? What are you doing?
