Oh I definitely understand that different rooms have different acoustic characteristics, especially in the bass.
I've had the exact same speaker be boomy in one room and then anemic and wimpy in another, when the room dimensions were within about 20% of each other and the relative placement within the rooms as similar as possible, but not close to any walls. In this case, re-tuning the speakers for corner placement and placing them in (or very near) the corners resulted in more satisfactory and consistent bass in both rooms.
What I'm saying is that I think the low-frequency presentation would vary less from one room to the next if the speakers were consistently placed where they'd recieve a lot of boundary reinforcement (like in the corners). This is based on too few observations to draw a definite conclusion, hence my asking Mr. Qvortrup - whose experience with such placement vastly exceeds my own.
On the other hand in my experience soundstaging is more three-dimensional when the speakers are moved out away from the walls, so like most things in audio apparently there are tradeoffs involved.
