Dak, pressurizing a volume isn't the object; instead it's sound level at a listener's ears at a certain point within that volume. Tests(Toole, Sound Reproduction, pp.59-60, etc.)demonstrate that in home audio rooms this sound level drops off at about 3dB per doubling of listener distance, which takes into account both direct sound and room reflections.
