Of course, the phrase "too dead" is a subjective one, and I agree with toy
in that I prefer to listen to music in a room that tends toward the "dead"
rather than "live". I've never got on terribly well with the LEDE concept
(Live End Dead End) for listening rooms, I've always preferred a room that
tends towards "dead" but one can still carry on normal conversation, and has
a "normal" feel. What that means in actual RT and the frequency distribution
of that RT I don't know, as I haven't measured many rooms. The IEC standard
listening rooms I've been in have sounded "right", as have the radio studios
built to the old



IBA Code of Practice.

Is that online anywhere?...
