I have looked at your system profile and it seems to me that the treatments you have done fall into the category of "reducing bad room effects" rather than "enhancing good musical effects."
The easiest way to get more good music into your room is adding pure diffusion to your ceiling. I'd recommend Auralex Wave Prisms on the basis of looks. There are more effective engineered solutions but I think they look industrial and don't look good in a private home.
A cloud of six 2 x 2 foot diffusor panels, three wide by two deep, centered on the first-reflection point between your speakers and your listening chair, should provide excellent payback. You could also go three by three panels and put the orphan panel (they come two to a box) on the back wall directly behind your head, if that area is clear.
Best of luck,
John
