...on this subject decades ago. IIRC, it was written by a staff member of a touring symphony orchestra; I know he labeled Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium (one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last major works) at Arizona State University as one of the best.
I can confirm that Gammage is a wonderful-sounding hall, sounding big, spacious, and a bit warmish--and certainly never harsh in the upper frequencies. Seats 3011!
