Next time you go into a bare room (no furniture, no rugs, no curtains) just clap your hands and listen to the echo. The room is too bright and the crappiest and most expensive system will sound similar in a room like that. When I looked at our current house before buying I noted the high gabled ceiling and loft and large cubic area and I was very concerned how my system would sound, but it was the house we wanted so we bought it.When we moved, filled the room with furniture, rugs and window treatments, it calmed right down and sounded just terrific. Good sized space for resonance but well dampened so no real echo-barn effect. The room correction made it even better, of course (23% as I recall).
