Re: Why should it be hard to get good sound in a hotel room?

I think the typical hotel room is smaller than the typical room that houses stereo in people's homes. Secondly, unlike in people's homes, the small size of the hotel room and the need to make room for some listeners means that most of the furniture has to be removed . . . another difference. Thirdly, just about all the hotel rooms I've been in in the U.S. have wall-to-wall carpeting -- not always a good thing.

The one thing that hotel rooms may share in common with lots of people's houses (at least those built in the 1960s or later) is the use of drywall for walls which is not as "tight" as, say, plaster.
