Aside from the other reference matrial Max refers to it seems to me a flaw by itself that the only factor you appear to be able to countenance is the reflectivity of the material. That factor or variable may not be the only one which must be taken into the equation. In practical terms (people wants to know what 'sounds' better) that must mean taking into account all of the variables (there may be facotrs at play that we do not even understand scientifically at this stage). If resonance is one of those variables which might make a wooden room sound different to a concrete room then that must be important as far as the sound is concerned. As I say I'm not an acoustician so I'd be keen to hear if anyone can suggest any other known factors which might affect the sound. So far we seem have:
1. reflectivity
2. Resonance
Any others?
