I'd like to read that, but that link doesn't like me specifically(!).
Perhaps it lightens up a little later...

Very interesting , my aproach for what iit's worth , it probably has
some flaws.
Damping the room enough to,get rid of flutter echo ( the garage / cave
sound ) using some odd bits of acoustic material , mostly behind me I'm
sitting close to the back wall .

My Quads claim to go down to 30Hz +/- 6dB but I have no way of knowing
whether they do. I have a Quad sub as part of the L-ite system for HT
that is supposed to go down to 25Hz and that system sounds really good
for multi-channel programs including live concert DVD/Blu-ray discs. But

My understanding from reading the paper and Toole's book is that
reflections from the front and back walls may not be beneficial for
giving the illusion of spaciousness because the reflected components of
the sounds in the left and right ears caused by them are highly
correlated, while the opposit

Perhaps a better way of improving the listening experience than buying
new speakers is by professional listening therapy by a KBT shrink on a
weekly basis?

Ooo, this was very interesting!
According to this paper, reflections are neutral or benign in small
rooms (except in the LF range). Who knew?
Adaptation seems to be

One good source of information about psychoacoustics and how it relates
to sound reproduction can be found in '_Floyd_Toole's_book_'

I decided to start a thread about psychoacoustics. (Perhaps not the most
obvious choice for thinking happy thoughts. And in the audiophile
section as well...)
Does anyone have any thought-provoking psychoacoustic phenomena to
share?
I'll go first. Perhaps you already know of them, but they were
