Bass hump. Ouch! That’s the first I’ve heard that issue mentioned there but not uncommon. I might have brought a pair of Auralex subdudes along to set them on like I do at home on my second level (mine have no built in plinth underneath even).
The Stereophile guy seemed mainly unable to handle teh "ambience" as he described it talking about reproducing original acoustics captured in a recording in a different room. Yes that’s exactly what the OHMs do that many do not and yes t can be hard for one to wrpa their ears around initially as well if not used to it. Many just want to hear the speakers not the room or at least that is what tehy are used to doing everything possible to take the rom out of teh equation. Unfortunately rooms are a reality and one has to find some way to deal with it, either use it or fight it or usually some effective combination of both practically.
He did not say much else about the sound other than acknowledging the large sweet spot. Maybe the bass hump got him as well.
John had an article on his site prior talking about the challenges of exhibiting in a hotel room so maybe he scouted in advance and had a premonition regarding the challenge.
Room EQ would certainly be a great asset in a case like this but not something most will apply at home so not fair really in that sense.
Trump went I heard and said it was all rigged. Just kidding....
