RE: The elephant in the room is...

"So if you have a pair of headphones that has good base, you should be able to detect room problems when comparing them the sound of you speakers."

I'm not sure even good headphones are a reliable reference for bass quality. In the recording studio, headphones are notorious for NOT allowing the engineer to set the levels of the bass instruments properly.

I speculate that not only is the tactile aspect of bass necessary for reference quality, but also that the inherently slower decay of bass energy in a room may contribute to pitch differentiation. Obviously we don't want the decay to be too slow, but headphones may go too far the other way.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.
