I did always think that 'confusing' the reflections sounded better than damping them out.
Round is worst, next comes cube then square plan.
I can't say. I worked in the interiors of a school auditorium once and the acoustics engineer mentioned it when we discussed room shapes.Why is a round room worse than a cube?

Possibly because the sound would simply run rings around the listener but in a cube it would only be a bit dicey.
I've never seen a domestic circular room; nor, in fact, a proper cube of a room. Has anyone?
I knew someone who had a 12 foot by 12 foot by 12 foot room in a Victorian cottage. And it sounded grim.
There must be a point around 6m where normal domestic speakers cannot cope. Really big rooms require a lot of air to be shifted

Well, you are both talking about Mission speakers; hardly exemplars of spl capability. I have ESLs, which thrive in larger rooms. Unfortunately they're also spl- limited regardless of amplification. You can't win !
You may as well be asking, what is the perfect hifi system.What would be the perfect room for music playback? Proportions, size, acoustic treatment.... ?
Ok, I misspoke. Would least imperfect do?You may as well be asking, what is the perfect hifi system.
The perfect room....come on now.
Keith from Purite may be able to help if you prefer the room correction technology, otherwise do as most of us do & hang a few canvas paintings / rugs etc.. to eliminate flutter echo, I suppose it depends on how the room is currently furnished, bare walls & hard surfaces will brighten, but at the same time, dull the sound, flatten it, make the sound more distant & fuzzy.Ok, I misspoke. Would least imperfect do?
Well, it needs to have a working fireplace and a nice comfy sofa. And be sufficiently warm in winter and cool in summer. In a detached house so as not to frighten the neighbours. No cupboards or letterboxes to rattle. No television obviously. And not close to a busy road, railway line, or flight path.
