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... :)
Doesn't surprise........
Too much is never enough
The other fun part of the story was the guy whose room had way too much treatment was a professional musician.
I've tried to talk people out of turning a VERY heavily treated space into a listeining area.
some liveness is good but must be done by ear. \
Pro musician MAY have been 'calibrated' to a dull listening space?

He was first oboist in Washington National Symphony. Maybe he was deaf from all the high volume sound. Who nose?
