post script - The hall sounds the same full as it does empty. This is accomplished by the fact that the fabric and foam in the seats is designed to absorb just as much sound as a person would sitting in the seat. The type of foam is also varied throughout the room. The foam in the seats is less dense where sound is more live so some of the sound will be absorbed and it is more dense in areas where the sound is more dead so that the sound will reflect. When you look around the room, you will also notice that there are no parallel surfaces. All of the surfaces are angled so that sound will always reflect to the audience. It will never get trapped in specific places.
