We have friends in The Hague who have a dining room with wooden floor, table and chairs, light curtains. Intelligibility is very bad which makes the room extremely uncomfortable, in my opinion.

When we built an extension to our house in 2002, I took the occasion and included acoustic treatment, as invisible as possible. This ceiling is perfect because you can see it without being aware that it's an acoustic ceiling.

To the best of my knowledge there is no research re: reverberation time in small listening rooms, so I would not bother too much trying to find stuff that has even absorption coefficients across the frequeny spectrum. Anything absorptive will be fine and your ears will tell you if you feel comfortable in the room or not.

When we discovered Plameco I asked for technical info, in particular for absorption coefficients. If you wish, I can scan and mail that info.
