Computer-assisted search is needed to optimize bass in non-rectangular rooms

Evidence

In practice, such rooms are very common. What then? The pieces of the puzzle exist, and those with the time and good instincts can, by trial and error, find combinations of location and settings that provide improved listening situations in “difficult” rooms. But what is needed is assistance from ubiquitous computers to reduce the labor content in finding the right combinations of settings. — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 1610
