In fairness to Dermot, I should point out that
elsewhere in his 1996 post (in a part I did not
quote) he wrote:
"It would appear that, in general, lively
listening environments are preferable as
long as strong early reflections are avoided."
and:
"Use of reflecting diffusors would therefore
appear to be recommended such that
strong specular reflections are avoided but
significant liveness is maintained."
