Recording studios have pretty much given up on accousta-voicing things
in this manner.  Once you've set up the EQ, as you have noticed, things
are very dependent on the position of the source and observer.  While
your living room with it's fixed speakers and one fixed listening chair
might be helped by this method, most serious people have given it up
for finding rooms appropriately sized and furnished.
