The Romans nailed the geometry—curved, horseshoe walls to throw sound out like a bell. In a studio you want the same focused energy, but you also need to tame the early reflections and control absorption. So you can borrow the idea of shaping the room, use a high‑quality reflective panel or a diffusing grid to mimic that “coliseum” reverb, but you’ll also layer acoustic treatment to keep clarity. Basically, yes, the principle works, just with a lot more precision.

Glad to hear you’re on the angle‑tracking track—just remember the sweet spot’s actually a moving target, not a fixed dot. Keep tweaking until the RT60 feels like a gentle breath, not a shout, and you’ll have a room that’s both a classic and a modern marvel. Good luck, and keep those measurements tight.

Sounds like you’ve got a solid workflow—just don’t forget to log the ambient noise levels between tweaks, too. The room’s breathing is half the science, the measurements the art. Good luck, and enjoy hunting that perfect balance.
