Hello everyone,
My first post here.
I asked Ethan this question and he thought it would make a great topic here. So here it goes...
Thoughts?
Obviously we know about Fletcher-Munson curves and all that, but what about the even more subjective nature of it?
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for posting this here Chris. I'm sure people can "learn" the sound of their room, if that's what you mean. But the "more subjective" issue is that our hearing is very fragile. What sounds good one moment might not sound good even a minute later. Nothing changed! This quote is from my Audio Expert book: This is why some audiophiles believe the sound changed after they "demagnetized" their CDs or vinyl records, or floated their speaker wires on little blocks to get them off the floor. The sound didn't change, just their perception. But this stuff goes even deeper than that. Moving your head even one or two inches makes a very real change to the response reaching you ears: A common-sense explanation of audiophile beliefs

In a well-known book, a similar topic is discussed.
While we acclimate to a room's sound, we can't compensate for masking. If you have reflections interfering with the direct sound, you will never hear through it. That's my understanding, anyway.
Thanks.
