If the cuts are minimum it's a good idea. It will relieve the corner pressure. However, if they get too large it begines to create some pretty interesting interactions that are not easy to describe, but suffice to say that more than about 15% of the length of wall cut as you propose and you may encounter some problems. As to the "dome", well, I don't like to disagree, but about the only worse scenario would be a round room. The dome will focus energy in one place. If you go to our listening room you can see what a bay window can do to the sound field. A dome compounds the problem. It can create a "neat" effect, but is not advised for a dedicated listening space.
Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct?
I was in the process of building a 13 foot by 17 foot stereo sound room when I got an idea. Why not avoid 90 degree walls with four smaller walls? This will create an eight sided oval room. Won't this avoid the need for bass traps? I know that traditional room corners accentuate bass resonance. What do you think about this solution?
