| I would really would like to know how many users in this forum have been in an anechoic room ? and listening to music in it ?
I can assure you that it is a terrible unpleasant and unnatural work to be and to listen to music. We need reflections. They have information about the location of the sources, their sonic characteristics etc...
We just don't need BAD reflections!
I want to quote a sentence from someone most of you know,one of the guru of acoustics, Trevor Cox. On one of the lessons he told us (students) something like this... anyone can kill a room with absorption but making it to sound good and still have a live but pleasant and accurate sound, that is the hard part.
IMO, I'm completely against placing too much absorption in a room. I know this is what some users think it is the correct thing to do but critical listening does not mean we are free of reflections. |
