Comments on 'Analysis of Traditional and Reverberation-Reducing Methods of Room Equalization'

I have read with interest the above paper and have found that the topics discussed provide useful insight in many aspects of digital room equalization. However, I have also found that the paper has overlooked previously-published work in this area, so that in my opinion, some of the conclusions drawn are mainly relevant to the specific methodology adopted by the paper’s author and thus are not generally applicable to the problem of reverberation-reducing methods.
