My room is not a purpose built room, and I do not think a purpose built room is a necessary prerequisite to achieving great sound. On the other hand, I think the systems of audiophiles who do not have purpose built rooms and who have worked on and refined and optimized their systems for years may be what I call "room limited," meaning that they have taken their current components in their current rooms as far as they can go towards achieving realistic sound reproduction, and only the removal of the entire system to a larger room or otherwise better room or a purpose built room would enable them to improve upon their sound reproduction.
Prove it Sir! Put a stereo in the room.
