You don't want to 'overdamp' a room though, it won't sound natural.
The ear adaps naturally to dealing with a modest reverberant field.


Indeed. Too short a RT and the room sounds dead.

Depends on the nature of the sound source, and what you want to hear. For
good recordings of classical or 'acoustic' music I prefer to hear the
recorded acoustic of the location where the recording/performance was made.
So a room that sounds 'dead' when you are speaking, etc, may be fine.

Slainte,
