"It ain't supposed to work, but it does."
I'm assuming you are referring to reflected sound?
If so, it absolutely does work! Just listen to any live un-amplified acoustic performance for proof.
Its also at work in most any home setup through speakers, just to varying degrees. Room treatments and other setup tweaks (like speaker orientation) can be used to adjust it but nothing short of an anechoic chamber or headphones perhaps can practically eliminate it. But since live music does not normally occur in an anechoic chamber, why even care? Its why many prefer to listen with speakers rather than headphones.
SO it is something one must deal with one way or another. It is something to tame and/or leverage in each case, not fear.
