If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?

Yeah you may need an absorption panel if your room is completely open, ie. No rug or furniture, ie just lonely single chair. But if your system can't cut it in any room then it's a system problem and you should be able to discern a good system regardless of the room.  Unless you put it on the roof of your apartment building but the Beatles seemed to have survived that effort

I think people go nuts with all this absorption acoustical room treatment stuff and it looks kind of awful.  Once in a while you see a really cool looking diffuser panel and I would definitely want one. But to have a system that works really well without any of the acoustical panel distractions is a wonderful thing.

Response to milpai:

"Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room,"

 

Anyone surprised?

Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room, a 20 x 20 thick wool rug and an assortment of furniture.

Is there a question? You probably do know most people just buy absorption panels and corner base traps and just stick them in their room.  Because everybody else does it.  They already have lots of furniture already in the room and that does enormous improvements to transmission of sound. some chairs and a sofa and a bookcase is extremely helpful to sound. The bookcase serves as a diffuser.

Most people don't need all this acoustical stuff in their room.

When you are sitting in a “modern design” restaurant with bare concrete walls, no baffles or absorption panels and cant hear anyone at the table because if all the noise, is this your ears issue or… 

There is a very good and not too complicated book on room acoustic treatments - “The Master Handbook of Acoustics” by Everest. It explains everything.

when i added acoustic treatment elements, i measured everything with microphone and PC software.
