Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct?

I tried my first Apogee dipoles in a room with a wide three sided bay window and it just sounded confused and imageless.

Muralman1, that's why I have box speakers in this house! I love stats and planars but the room is part of the system. The room, as a component of my system, dictates what I need to use to get music.

It would be fun to be able to start with a blank sheet of paper.I should say that overall I'm pretty happy to have the room I have. Their are the less fortunate who have to share their rooms with all sorts of crazy goings on!

Sorry if I stepped on your toes, Maxgain. I was just hurrying through topics and I saw this one and it brought back memories.

Muralman1, I never thought of it like that. There is no substitute for a little experience in this crazy endevor.

The Hat Rack: I'm here at CES and it's on display at a few places. There are many things in this audio world that make large differences that you wouldn't expect to. So far everything I have ever heard that made a difference has some sort of physical reason that it made a change--sometimes not for the better. As a physicist, I can't find any physical reason how the hat rack would have any effect on the sound (unless it's placed in front of the speakers). There's virtually no band width by it's design and thus it can't effect the sound waves. I would really like to read some scientific explaination (or anything even plausible) on how this can effect the sound waves.
