I am of the mind that a room can be too dead as well as too live, and

Sometime before the seventies, a manager asked my thoughts on room
acoustics. I said, "Start out dead, and work your way back from there".
Someone dubbed this "The Lazarus Approach". I guess it still applies.

I am not sure you can do this if you're worried about the low end (which
you might not be for a lot of studio applications like radio announce
rooms). The meadow is nice and dry-sounding but as soon as you put a
wall up, you've got low frequency reflections.
