Dave, buddy, pal,

You've made my point!

So you've identified this reflection at 25 ms. You've gotten the frequency components nailed.

Fundamental: 300 Hz. Check

First overtone, 600 Hz. Check.

Second overtone, 900 Hz. Check.

Etc.

Armed with this info, it's easy to buy a product which will allow you to tweak their filter to cancel that reflection at those frequencies.

Now that I'm thinking about it, a person could do the same thing for any number of reflections/acoustical problems. The possibilities are endless, as is the money needed to fool oneself into thinking that their electronic "solution" has "fixed" the problem.

I stand corrected. ;)

Oh, wait, we're still screwing up the source to "fix" the room. Whatever, nobody cares about the direct sound anyway.

But seriously, you're a perfect candidate for checking out the IRIS room acoustics analysis system. I was floored/ecstatic when I first saw their system and watched the technical presentation a few years ago. I thought: THIS is what I've wanted since 1974, and now it's here!

:)
