Craig,
No problem. For stereo music a very dead room will tend to sound lifeless and flat and it will highlight the 'looking through a window' experience. The rooms 'sound' is needed for 2 channel to help with the above. That is why I suggested taking your speakers outside and listening to them for awhile. The experience will sound very different then what you are accustomed to. As has been mentioned the live end dead end is what is usually recommended for stereo listening.
When you use surround (either discrete or derived) you have the surrounds (and 4 are better then 2 here) playing back the halls sound. So in this case an overall dead room is a good thing.
