I think of the room and all its contents as passive radiators.
I also consider a speaker cabinet as a passive radiator. Remember you and I talked of how to remove a source of a fuzzzz tone near the top of a speaker enclosure..I think you said you could detect with the use of a stethoscope..
The room and all its contents have different shear velocities and shapes that collide with other shapes creating new angles and speeds. As Galen said about wire you want to control or maintain those velocities in the most linear fashion. Active laminar flow can help overcome obstructive devices in the active line of radiation. Wherever you sit.
Starsound has a room called an Energy Room. Easy descriptive term is the whole room is mechanically grounded the ceiling and walls roll energy from their surfaces like water from a water fall. With such a system, treatment is not needed nor are dynamics lost. We feel we are using only 1 time signature instead of a few or more. Furniture and soffits and such alter some of this but the majority come from the room structure whats left can be dealt with by an increase in laminar flow.
