If you want lame advice DON'T do this!

I'm not confusing the three cases you mentioned. I was told by professionals who've sat and listened to music for hours at my place that nothing needs to be done to improve the sound in my room.  

I understand the points you're making. I guess I'm just lucky or it could be that minimal room treatments are all anyone really needs, unless they want to make a shrine to the audio gods. 😄

This is my second case...

you room was good then you were lucky...

But room optimization , my third case ,only  begin with a good room and do not end there..

Almost no one had listen to a dedicated small room , because almost no one own one...

And pro dont want to "create a ashrine to the audio Gods"...A good room is enough for most customers ...doing more will cost a fortune...

Thanks for the expression... Room optimization is a "shrine to the audio Gods"...

Ask to people who could pay 100,000 bucks for their room if their optimized room is better than just a good room or not ? They will say that there is no comparison...

Then i did not negate your point nor want to depreciate your room ... I only add what was missing for the sake of understanding and from my experience...

By the way it was so hard to create one optimized room i will never do it again... And i lack the 100,000 bucks to pay for one...

My unesthetical room with 100 resonators and other devices was that : "a shrine to the audio God" ...

Good expression... It is better than "mad scientist lair"...

I spent about 30K on equipment which was substantial since I’m a blue collar worker. It took 8 years to get all my gear.  When I moved I decided to try room treatments so I bought about $2k worth of auralex bass traps and acoustic tiles. I brought then into the room slowly as I listened…. I found the sweet spot and stopped before I made the room dead. I have REQ and a mic but my 50 y.o. Ears don’t agree.  I tuned it to how I like it.  Visitors may find it lacking but my 30-13k hearing likes it.    To each their own…

Good post...

You tuned your room for your ears...

Now imagine you add a grid of located Helmholtz resonators also...Ionizers and schumann generators...Imagine now you use your speakers as two beams concentrated on your listening position... I did it with a foldable screen on which i place resonators and diffusers ... It is impossible to explain how to do it because it is done in an incremental way in a tuning process...

The results was a holographic room soundfield with the intimacy of headphone...

Way more powerful than buying gear...

My only problem is that it could have been better with more sophisticated speakers...
