Ethan, with all respect I have to disagree.
I won't argue with the test data you presented Ethan, but that says *nothing* for the subjective element which absolutely *is* there, *is* valid and *must* be considered. You can't just summarily dismiss empirical data in favor of another type of data just because one is on a plot and the other isn't. I'll bet you anything that if you took 10 guys and played snare hits from exactly the same location in rooms exactly the same size and shape, one made of concrete and the other made of wood, all 10 would be able to tell which was which. A plot won't tell you that though.
