My point exactly. Don't get me wrong, obviously speakers will sound better in a treated room, but some people here talk like speakers in an untreated room are just unbearable to listen to.

Also true on occasion, especially in small rooms.

I have exactly one (1) friend with a Rives Audio designed and treated media room. It is FLAT. He has the equipment to go with it; AND it happens to sound spectacular. 

 

However, the rest of my friend's music systems are played in their living rooms, dens, family rooms, etc. and we definitely enjoy music in those rooms too, and not just on occasion. Strategic placement is key to balance; the room does not have to be treated in order to enjoy music.
