It's easier and more economical to introduce absorptive elements into an overly "live" room than it is to add reflective elements into an overly absorptive or "dead" room.
With bare floors and hard walls we start out with a clean slate.

That's very true. I'll add that one glaring problem of many home hi-fi rooms is poorly balanced acoustics. Whether frequency ranges or locations, absorption and diffusion aspects of a good room will be balanced in a desirable and cohesive manner.
A related problem is overly "dead" rooms. It seems that in the hi-fi enthusiast's world, absorption is the word of the day when it comes to acoustics, especially in home theater design. That could not be more wrong. A proper balance among absorption, diffusion and "liveness" is needed, and that often means a more live room than what people think.
But, this isn't news. Audio/hi-fi enthusiasts are typically much more interested in equipment than acoustics.

I agree. The overall tone of music has improved a huge amount.
Just a few strategic touches and the room will sound as nicesd as it looks.
