In room testing measures the room, anechoic (chamber or outdoors) measures the equipment. If you're interested in a baseline test for equipment comparisons, anechoic is all that makes sense. But if you're interested in setting up your equipment in a specific room, you'll probably want to tailor for that room, and so you'll measure in that room. You'll get diffrent measurements at different places inside the room, so you'll find some good spots and some bad. Depending on how important coverage is to you, you might try to setup for good response over a large area, or you might just set it for best sound in a specific listening spot.
