In Reply to: The worst sounding room I ever heard had way too much room treatment. Nt posted by geoffkait on March 22, 2021 at 11:37:26:
Some people like a drier acoustic environment and some people like a wetter one. But aside from that basic preference, the number one reason why some heavily treated rooms sound bad is an imbalance in the amount of absorption in different frequency ranges, almost always an excess of high frequency absorption. For example, a good recording studio control room will have a flat RT60 vs. frequency. It will sound drier than most audiophiles prefer, but it will sound balanced. Whereas a lot of home theater demo rooms I've been in use only high frequency wall treatments that make the room sound dead but muddy/boomy at the same time.
My biggest pet peeve is walking into a room where an expensive system resides but there has been no attempt to control obvious slap echoes. It happens more than it should. There ought to be a law... :)
