At some point I'd like to hear a room like that. I don't think I'd like it as I definitely prefer more absorption than diffusion. I suspect diffusion is so popular because it's more interesting and there's a lot more money in it. Fiberglass will never be sexy and it's too easy to ever be high margin.
Maybe some types of recordings sound better with more reflected sound. I certainly wouldn't think live music would, though. It's already got the reflections recorded. I guess studio recordings with very little reflected sound could be made to seem more live with some added room reflections.
Imagine how boring the internet would be if folks were as civil here as they are in person.

You might want to rethink your comments about performance and playback venue acoustics.
A venue where music is performed in front of audiences is neither fully reflective nor absorptive, but acoustical calculations such as reverberation time take into account the sound absorbed by people's bodies and clothing.
A studio recording, even if all performers are recorded together, sounds a lot different than in a concert hall or club partly because the studio tends to be much more absorptive.
I don't want my listening room to be an anechoic chamber or anything approaching one, nor should anyone. Many audiophiles' rooms tend to be overdamped.
I'll leave it at that but suggest that people should try to use diffusion rather than absorption when possible and practical.

So much music, so little time!
....we are full!
Nope...Considered it, but going to Southlake (DFW). Austin is a very cool town though, and we plan on coming down to enjoy some music once the dust settles with the house and the new job.
Austin?
