RE: Hmmmmmm...

>Whether or not you're prepared to accept or admit the fact, your room contains quite significant acoustic treatment and the treatment most people here are talking about or adopt is often significantly less than you're using.<

The room being built using bricks, covered with plaster and wallpaper, ceramic tiles wall to wall, would have been a disaster without any reverberation treatment. As I said, the one and only reason for having that ceiling installed was to lower reverberation time. In that particular sense I deliberately did what I did. As a side effect, it decreases the Q of room modes. Note that the modes are still excited and perceivable when playing sine tones. Apart from that ceiling I don't have any further treatment.

I was quite surprised to read the conclusions Toole draws in his 2006 AES paper, so I want and read the background literature myself. I won't stop people from doing what they want to do, all I am saying is that there is no evidence that early reflections are detrimental so there's no need to treat them. If you, or anyone else, prefers reflections treated, be my guest. I do not argue about preferences.
