Here is a fascinating podcast on how our brain influences/edits what we hear.
It explains the huge differences between different people and how we truly hear music. The part on how our brains can block out reflected sound implies that there must be large differences in how we react to different acoustic environments.
Seems that some people will perceive huge improvement from room treatments, while others will just psycho-acoustically adjust, depending on a range of factors, including the emotional state, expectations, familiarity of the music, whether we are right handed or left and more.
