RE: causes of DARK sounding system?

Hey BHead,

When people (audiophiles) talk about room treatments, they almost always think absorption, when what they should think is absorption and diffusion.

"Soundstage" is a term often bandied about. A large/wide soundstage requires reflections from room surfaces. This is an important aspect of how we perceive "spaciousness" and, therefore, soundstage. Clearly, this is difficult to achieve in a small room, but, over-damping is not the solution.
