Objectionable room perceptions are unlikely to stem from comb filtering

Evidence

Comb filtering is often thought to be involved in all delayed sounds. However, a delayed sound arriving from a different horizontal angle than the direct sound is perceived as spaciousness, not comb filtering. It adds to the information about the room. — , Toole, Floyd E - Sound reproduction-…, 729 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
