This is my question...to all the acoustic experts here...
If one already has a room that is very acoustically dead,(in this case a very small room) is not further trapping just going to make it even deader?

It seems to me that a very dead room is going to adversely affect the sound quality, virtually taking the life out of the sound so to speak..
I realise that a lot of trapping is going to help to improve the bass side of things, but isn't there going to be some further constraint on the rest of the frequencies?
