I recently moved to a new place where I have a dedicated office/computer room, but it's 10'x9' with drywall that seemingly reflects every bit of sound. The powers that be have forbidden acoustic treatments. Not going to win that fight. I currently have Audioengine A2s on my desk but have been somewhat disappointed with their performance. In this space is it worth upgrading to something like Genelec 8010a, or should I just stick with headphones?

Whatever speakers you get will be hampered by all those reflections anyway, might as well stick with headphones.

If you have concrete walls, they reflect sound like there's no tomorrow. Get headphones in that case.
