I've equipped several rooms over the years with ASC products (I have no affiliation with them). In every case, the addition of their products made dramatic improvements to the sound. The effect is additive. Start with the room corners. A stack of round traps in each corner will take your sound to a new level. Then add first reflection points. Then front wall absorption etc etc until you have a full room. It doesn't have to be everything at once. They are indeed not cheap but depending on the cost of your stereo equipment, they offer value for the price. I also used some GIK diffusers in my current room to help with the soundstage. Also very effective. The pictures give you an idea of what is possible. I've made some improvements since then but you get the idea.
