Same here. As soon as you walk into the listening room you can hear the difference. And measurements, especially CSD, show it. I've always loved how such a room presents music with such clarity. The room disappears and you hear the recording itself. If the recording is medium distant miced capturing room effect, you can hear whether they're in a stone cathedral, a symphonic hall, a smaller room, etc. If it's close miced and dry then you hear a completely different perspective.
I also like what you don't hear: your own room's reflections superimposed on the recording. I understand many people prefer this but it's not for me.
