Interesting. I'm sure when they walked out of that room it measured as it should. More definitive proof that when it comes to engaging sound, you cant measure everything.
I would say that most professionally installed AV rooms I've been in, sounded lifeless. Mostly it's the decay and presence (as in the presence of the recording hall/studio) isn't "right." I always blamed it on the designers desire to make each listening seat "flat". I'm sure they measure perfectly, but they dampen the micro cues that make the performance sound real.
I haven't been in a lot of recording studios but I'm certain that the "sound" engineer/designer are going for is also very different from the 2 channel audiophile. Concluding that both the market for designing 2 channel audiophile type rooms and the number of designers that can do that correctly is very, very small.
