RE: I prefer a hard, reflective room to start out with...

That's very true. I'll add that one glaring problem of many home hi-fi rooms is poorly balanced acoustics. Whether frequency ranges or locations, absorption and diffusion aspects of a good room will be balanced in a desirable and cohesive manner.

A related problem is overly "dead" rooms. It seems that in the hi-fi enthusiast's world, absorption is the word of the day when it comes to acoustics, especially in home theater design. That could not be more wrong. A proper balance among absorption, diffusion and "liveness" is needed, and that often means a more live room than what people think.

But, this isn't news. Audio/hi-fi enthusiasts are typically much more interested in equipment than acoustics.
