Reading through some threads here, it seems that the general advise experts give is to not go after room treatment because we crave reflections & reverberations specially in orchestral music,
But for edm & pop music, gaming audio & surround speaker setups, a well treated "dead" room is better. Even for orchestral music some recordings have reverberations baked into the recording itself making a well treated room ideal
So wouldn't it make sense for audiophiles to aim for a well treated "dead" room & only add reverberations when needed using DSP filters?
I use easyeffects on linux. Here is its Reverberation filter settings:
Shouldn't we be able to fine tune the settings and only have reverberations when we want them the way we want them?
I think "dsp + well treated room" is a more controlled setting compared to relying on room interactions & if some scientific research is done in this area we can have better guide lines
(i don't have experties or the equipment to say anything confidently so this is just an idea after reading some forum threads)
