What exactly are accoustic treatments and how would you know if your room would benefit from them?
I presume it's something to do with minimising sound reflections?

Destroying the aesthetic appeal of a room is proven time and time again to be an awful awful idea when it comes to enjoying music. Sofas, rugs, carpets, underlay, thick curtains, book cases, furniture, bumpy wallpaper and good positioning of components are the key.
Make your room a warm, pleasant, cosy, enjoyable place to listen whilst at the same time giving your compoents and your head space from walls and each other. Basically don't let your room resemble an art gallery on one extreme or a semi anechoic chamber at the other or a full cupboard at another extreme.
Your environment plays a large part in your enjoyment. It isn't all about getting flat responses with measuring equipment. Those rooms don't make pleasant listening rooms. They only make good rooms for technical measurements and technical critiquing.
