Well, the treadmill would have had a number of freely moving parts which would have resonated in response to any sound in your room. I'm not surprised removing it had a beneficial effect.

Another source of resonance may be the hinged glass doors in your equipment rack and removing them may help if that's possible. The ceramic tiled floor will certainly be adding some brightness to the room but I would expect that to be broad band rather than creating a peak at a particular frequency.

I can't tell the exact proportions of your rug from the photos but I suspect that it's longer than it's broad and that you have the narrow side facing you. You could try turning the rug 90 degrees so the long side runs across the room and locating the rug with its centre halfway between you and the plane of the speakers. That may or may not help a little but it only takes seconds to try and things like that are always worth the experiment in my view.
