I believe the room has EVERYTHING to do with bass support, absorption and deflection. I traveled for eight years as a contractor living in extended stay suites and setting up small systems. It was amazing how well most of these sounded considering they were by any standards minimal.
But they all seemed to shine surrounded by brick or cinder block structure. The bass was solid and did not wander. This came from Linn Classik/NHT SuperZereos, NAD L-40/Totem Mites, Onkyo CS 210/Totem Mites, Rega Brio/NAD CD/SuperZereos.
