Rowuk,

I think you take the subject of acoustic in listening room a bit wrongly, would it be for audio or for your trumpet. The reflection of bass wave back to the listener is not the problem at all, at least in my assessment. The key is in decay patter at different frequencies or something that we call reverberation time. The size of performing space or listening room is primary responsible for reverberation time at lower frequencies and there are zillion other factors that are responsible for reverberation time at higher frequencies. Depends of the music playing and playing techniques you want to have 1 to 2 seconds of reverberation time or room decay at lowers produced frequency. The patters with which the higher frequencies decay (it will be shorter of cause) is something that describes the sound of the given acoustic space. I do think that if you read about management of reverberation time in halls instead of reflection of bass cancelation than you will be closer to the answers you are looking for.
