Disagree. If the reason is the pursuit of the best sound the system can create in that space then it has nothing to do with being conditioned to think acoustic treatment equals true audiophile. What is the definition of sounds fine by the way? There are plenty of videos online you can watch and hear the massive difference in the before and after. I don’t want to treat my room using furniture, I want to use acoustic treatment designed specifically to manage issues I have in my room. I have no idea what piece of furniture I need to add in order to manage a +3db rise at 50hz. However, I can do some research and find acoustic treatment that can help flatten that out.
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
Yeah you may need an absorption panel if your room is completely open, ie. No rug or furniture, ie just lonely single chair. But if your system can't cut it in any room then it's a system problem and you should be able to discern a good system regardless of the room. Unless you put it on the roof of your apartment building but the Beatles seemed to have survived that effort
I think people go nuts with all this absorption acoustical room treatment stuff and it looks kind of awful. Once in a while you see a really cool looking diffuser panel and I would definitely want one. But to have a system that works really well without any of the acoustical panel distractions is a wonderful thing.
