This is a term that I really hate. Dead is totally misunderstood IMO. When I think of dead I think of a room that is absorbing ALL the frequencies evenly, but most rooms I see posted as "dead" are ones that are 100% absorbed on the highs but the low end is still swimming in the room. HUGE DIFFERENCE IMO! That is the room that people always explain as "strange sounding" because they can still here the low end. Great example are is a small VB covered in 2" absorption but sounds boxy.
