Try ray tracing. At higher frequencies, the sound behaves like light in a mirror -- angle of incidence = angle of reflectance. So you can see what's happening with the early reflections. The idea is to delay them by at least 10 ms (10' total path length).
If you aren't using it already, you might also want to consider QRD diffusors at the first reflection point towards the center of your front wall (the points at which you see the mids and tweeters in a mirror from your listening seat). It's pretty much the room treatment of choice for dipoles. In particular, yours are a bit close to the front wall. Diffusion, like reflecting facets, would have the effect of making the room acoustically larger.
