There is so much good info and demos out there on how you can improve room acoustics - anywhere from total room remodels to setting up a few temporary baffles - that it should be possible to get a good sound with a tiny bit of self-education and some educated trial and error.

you didn't come off as anti-scientific to me, I just think trial and error in recording has a lot of merit. I remember one time watching a guy place fig 8 mic in the corner of a room and sing into it. It sounded great, and it was something that he learned by just trying all the spots in his room, and LISTENING.
