That's what I was talking about.

This thread can become very subjective... Let me suggest that somewhere, someone - not me - Do a test:

2 rooms - one anechoic, the other one up to today's mastering standards with rfz, diffusion & balanced decay.

20 excellent mix engineers - 10 for each room.

Timed mixes (same song) - no communication between engineers.

Then all the mixes voted on by over 100 (as many as possible) listeners on their home systems. The winner(s) will be the ones that translate best to the real world.

This could be a fantastic learning experience for all involved.

One more thing.. the test room need to be standard size, ie; approx 2000 - 3000 cu ft.
