Oh, definitely. Boundary reinforcement from corner loading is 9dB. The gain from increased directivity is another 9dB. Of course, damping from wall compliance, insulation, carpeting, furniture and room treatments takes some of this but you can get as much as 18dB over freespace. If not well damped, room modes can bump certain ranges even more than that.
