Golly, to read what you guys write, a person would think that Earl Geddes and Floyd Toole were the only two guys who ever researched this stuff. :)
I've been reading research papers on psychoacoustics since the mid 1970s, and working with audio systems since before that, before I quit college as a music major in 1975 (I veered off into audio and acoustics instead of music). Anyway, this whole "2 ms, 6 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms" stuff is making me gag.
YES!, there IS a threshold between where a reflection 1) Changes the character of a sound, 2) Changes the apparent location of a sound, 3) Interferes with the 'definition' of the sound; and, it varies with the type of sound, and these effects vary with both sound level and frequency.
Duke, I'm not raggin' on you, but in the "audiophile" world, many people are SO clueless about acoustics and psychoacoustics. To me, your comments are well-taken and useful. The thing is, the audience for your comments needs more depth in order to understand the topic, and you're over-simplifying it. Generally speaking, I'd say you're on the right track. (See my post from a couple years ago. LOL)
One of the bottom lines is that "audiophiles" should get at least a basic understanding of acoustics and psychoacoustics.
