Hello everyone!
I know my room is way too small, it is almost a cube, but I'm not completely sure if the fact that the walls are not very rigid is actually rather advantage or more of a disadvantage. So I understood, that the way to go with my room is to make it almost completely dead.
I have primarily these questions:
1. I really like the sound of ADAM monitors so I'm thinking about model T5V. But they are equipped with these U-ART tweeters, which spreads the sound rather broadly in the horizontal axis. Would that be a bummer in such a tiny room? As an another option I'm considering those very small iLoud MTM. They seems to have quite good sound for the size, they have probably more narrow sound dispersion and has an auto-calibrate system included. I tested both in a shop, but does anyone has experiences or any ideas on that?
2. Is it a good idea to hang the speakers from the ceiling or is it better just normally place them on the table? I want to put the table on two rows of tennis balls for better sound isolation from the floor (see the blueprint).
I appreciate any notes, suggestions or criticism.
Thanks for any answers and have a good day!

I work on a project of building my music and graphics studio in a caravan. And because my plan is to live in that caravan, my studio can take only very small room in there.
I've read quite a few articles and conversations on this forum and other places about acoustics in rooms and although I tried to apply all I've learned, I'm not completely sure how much my scenario is different from regular room in a solid house. But I guess it differs quite a bit.

I just want to make my room as good for listening (and occasionally for some voice recording) as possible under the circumstances.
I want to make my simple bass traps out of thick mineral wool plates attached to a thin plywood by a sound transparent fabric (in similar way like the chair upholstery). But maybe with a thin foam membrane below the textile for health reasons. The bass traps will be attached to the walls using a consoles (out of 4mm thick wire) providing an air gap behind them. The most of the wall areas will be covered with a thermal insulation panels out of compressed mineral wool encapsulated in an aluminum foil foam insulation with the foam facing out.

3. What do you think about the closet under the table and the bass trap behind it? (You know, I don't like the idea of giving up that precious storage space in the caravan.) Does that bass trap has a sense there?
I appreciate any notes, suggestions or criticism.
