RE: Why Kill Valuable Musical Information/ Dynamics of Sound-Waves at the First-Reflection Point?

These reflections create comb filtering, thereby coloring the sound. With some training and practice one can learn to hear the reflections and how the sound changes when the reflections are removed. Some people, especially blind people, can "hear" the walls. They are listening to the sonic reflections of the sound of their feet.

If you are hearing the walls of your room, then you won't be perceiving a potential sound stage that's larger than your room, thereby missing out on some of the magic when playing great recordings on a well set up system.
