Hi all,
Referring to Miller's book [1], and having experimented with various delay times, I'm wondering what the "average" delay time used in the text is. If all the delay times are close to equal, then using the arithmetic mean as "average" gives me a reasonably accurate reverberation time calculation. But the more they differ the worse the result is (comparing with measurement against my implementation).

Intuitively it seems that the sound recirculates more often (and is thus attenuated more) through the shorter delay lines, but this is obviously not taken into account with arithmetic mean. I'm thinking something like harmonic mean might be better (but I tried it and it wasn't a huge improvement, nor was geometric mean).
Any clarification would be enlightening, thanks,
