In Reply to: Same shape as your favorite auditorium or nightclub. Worst possible would be a spherical room (cubical second worst) posted by Richard BassNut Greene on February 23, 2007 at 07:42:05:
If the sphere is large enough it can work quite well provided you don't overdrive the room in which case it goes to hell really quickly. With speakers about 1/3 of the way into the room and listening position near the center of the room the sound can be really good. I specified that the room be large enough because in my case first reflection points are 15 to 20 feet away from the listening position and the speakers are 7 feet away. A room like this with exposed hard surfaces would be awful.
