If one doesn’t digest BEANS well, opening doors or windows might be imperative to avoid passing out from getting gassed 😉
“You have to open a door or window to let the pressure out of the room.”
“It needs somewhere to go.” I read this advice about optimizing a listening room on another forum. I’m an admitted neophyte but this sounded like a bit of silliness to me.
