What are the limits of room correction/ treatments ?

My old listening room was open to other parts of the house allowing excess bass energy to escape and had a high 13ft. ceiling. Clear tight bass and open clear midrange even when loud. My current room, while bigger ( 17 x 21), is boxy with 9' ceilings and a single door entrance. You can really hear the room getting in the way on many recordings, esp with louder complex recordings. Can room correction + treatments really make my current room sound like the old one?

I made some DIY clones of these pillows many years ago. Sonic impact was (very) minimal.

I had great success with building my own floor-to ceiling SEALED bass traps to remedy a mid-bass hump in my room and also 24" X 48" panels to dampen the first reflection points on side walls. All made of 2" thick Owens Corning RIGID fiberglass panels with inexpensive wood frames and covered with the fabric of my choice. Sonic impact was not just, "Well, I guess they make some difference." like the RoomTunes.

Best to you jaybe,
