Is your listening room acoustically treated?

It definitely shows how important the room is. It can really make or break a system. I know because I'm dealing with it daily.

I listened to the clip on headphones.  I would agree that it is easy to hear the improvement in the highs.  In fact, this is why I particularly liked this video, you can very easily hear the difference and improvements right the way through the entire frequency range.  The obvious effect is the "deadening" of the sound, or removal of the room echo if you like.  This I would expect, but what really struck me is some of the mid-range stuff, where to my ears the system in the treated room sounds like it has has a significant amount of distortion removed.  In some threads we discuss distortion levels of 0.0018% versus 0.00026% or whatever (which is all good fun), but this is on another level I think.
