Agree entirely. I also enjoyed the blog on room acoustics - http://archimago.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/measurements-room-acoustic-absorption.html. Good references there including one in the replies about "Calibrated Acoustic String (TM)" which I thought was a tongue in cheek comment until I went to the referenced web site ( http://www.mcsquared.com/string.htm ) that has some good reading and explanations.
