Is that the impulse measurement of a multi-driver speaker? If so, it looks pretty good to me.

I had forgotten that this is the Planar Asylum and most of the speakers here radiate as line sources, not point sources. I'd still want to window out all first reflections off of walls when I make my frequency response measurements.

There are tradeoffs associated with room acoustics. Fast decay gives better clarity and imaging, while slow decay of gives a richer and more lively presentation. I do not subscribe to the theory that the recording engineers mixed in anticipation of listening under semi-anechoic conditions. Note that typical microphone placement is very close to the performers, so the direct-to-reveberant energy ratio captured by the microphones is much higher than a normally-seated listener would experience.
