Where you sit in the room can affect the audio.   I wonder if we've consulted an acoustician?  There are online tools that give graphs, room modes, etc. That show troubled freq area's, help with speaker placement etc.

I'm certain its a challenge.  For instance:  a 40hz wave is 28 feet long.  Its highest velocity is a 1/4 its wavelength.  In a smaller room, you'd need sound treatment 7 feet away from the wall, at highest velocity, in order to stop the reflection.

In your own home, try this.  Turn up some music.  Now put your head against the far wall.  The Bass will increase by 4 db , or more.  It won't sound like its supposed to.  Will sound pretty good in the middle of the room, but terrible at the wall.  In the dome?  We're all at the edge of the wall.  The upperdeck, near the roof should sound the most terrible.  Bass waves gather in corners.  Standing waves, out of phase etc...

It will always be a challenge. I'd have the audio physics modeled, for the best compromise.  It'll never be perfect.  Same reason it sounds so loud, contributes to poor PA quality.
