Assuming your room is 20°C and at sea level, the wavelength of E (first line of staff) on your horn (= concert A), is about 5 feet, so it resonates nicely in your 10 foot room. G# (more or less) should work well with the 8 foot dimension. I suggest redesigning your practice room so no two walls are parallel to each other.

In my small 8X10 practice room, the E is the most resonant note on both my double horns. When I do my warm up, this note just seem to "pop" out with a fuller sound & deeper tone color. The Eb does, too, but to a lesser degree. When I play the same horns else where, I don't observe the same phenomenon.
