Hi OP,
So the buzz words you are talking about are "room modes" and "Shroeder frequency" and "standing waves." They are VERY much in play in your average living room, creating almost perfect nulls and up to 200x power (~ 20 dB or more) magnification in tight bands.
I strongly encourage you to read up on the subject outside of here. It is exactly because of these issues that trying to get a flat response down to 20 or 16 Hz is the most dangerous and vexing problem for most audiophiles. In these depths is where the mermaids and dragons live.
Best,
Erik
