In Reply to: Re: I think you are on the mark. How do judgments made in an optimal rooms work for varied and non-optimal rooms? posted by regmac on January 17, 2007 at 10:16:44:
What we should want is a room that imposes very little of its own sound on the system. That way, what you're hearing is the system, not the room.In practical terms, I think that means a room that is acoustically fairly "dead" within the limitations of reasonable decorating practice (IOW, not an attempt to create an anechoic chamber).
Even then the reviewer has the impossible task of comparing different speakers that, by design, engage or do not engage the room as an active component to wildly differing degrees. Consider, for example, a big horn speaker like the avantgarde that has a very focused, unidirectional output, in contrast to any number of dipolar planar speakers and "open baffle" cone speakers, not to mention reflecting speakers like the Shanian and -- eek! -- the Bose 901.
