>You have to measure from at least 2 metersNo you don't. What if I listen at 1 meter (or any other arbitrary distance)? WTF do I care about what the device does at 2m (unless there happens to be a reflective surface there and I'm interested in what's being bounced around the room)? You should measure in a way that gives you good data relevant to your situation.
>gating doesn't cut it
Gating works just fine. If you measure in a tiny closet of a room and want to go down to 20hz, then no, gating won't 'cut it' because you are applying the concept incorrectly. But as long as you apply the theory correctly (limit your gate time based on where your first reflection occurs), it works just fine.
