It would be interesting to see their rooms and how they are set up. I think most would be very surprised to see how they listen. Years ago the Absolute Sound printed diagrams of the reviewers rooms. charles
I could care less what it looks like. The only thing I care about are the measurements most do NOT do.
Sorry Dave but a bad measuring room can't and does not sound good. I'll still take room measurements.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely! The room is THE most important interconnect in the system and it has to be right to sound good. That is why treatments are necessary. A room with bad measurements - multiples of common dimensions - just suck and are very hard to get to 'play well'. The Cardas Method works pretty good:http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_id=26&pagestring There are a few ways to get "there". The SWARM is a good thing for problem rooms.

Are you saying simulation?
So there are some simulation programs out there? Any of them any good?Might be interesting to see (for me as a learning execrise) how it works - lay out my room, run some simulations, then hook up my measuring setup and see how it correlates. Try a different sim, move speakers to that location, then measure again.Also see if it sounds better if the sim says it should (totally subjective, but I trust me to be honest with myself )(there have been many times I thought I was making a change for the positive and been disappointed with the results - even had the reverse true on a couple of occasions )
Another good room simulation program is CARA 2.2 Plus. Used that a lot with speaker setups in my room with very good results. You have to model your speaker in the program, so not everything is possible. Was able to model the LS-6's, but not the LS-9's due to the number of drivers. No models for open baffle speakers are available.I was able to model my Von Schweikert Research VR-8's in it and found a very good placement setup.
