Folks, is room correction important even when you are listening at low
volume levels ?
It depends, but yes.
If you are just playing background music, it is not very important.
But the fundamental problems of room acoustics screwing up phase and
frequency response occur at all volume levels.
The key to understand is that the size of the room effects specific
frequencies, independant of loudness/gain.
To make it sound real, as TAS puts it, the sound of unamplified
instruments in real spaces, you have to get it right.
For something like a heavy metal guitar riff, which is distorted at
several layers before it gets to the recording studio's media, it isn't
all that important. But heavy metal distortion folks are probably going
to point out that it is important to get the right distortion.
I believe, that once you have decent equipment, room acoustics are far
more important than most people realise, and vastly more important than
selecting the proper $300 interconnect.
