Is that your couch so close to the speakers? Are you set up the wide way or the long way? If you are 13 deep and 19 wide change it around, you will be very happy. Put your couch right up against the back wall. This will greatly improve you bass and help your brain deal with reflections giving you better perceived imaging.

Moving your speakers wider will give you wider soundstage at the expense of pinpoint imaging if you go to far. I was able to get my speakers pretty far apart 12-14' with no problem (did this for projector image). Toeing them in will restore focus but kill some of the width.

Moving them away from the wall give the soundstage depth. I have the front of mine about 5' from the front wall.

I went (still going) through what you are. Having just moved my new room is much bigger and open to the left. I am getting there, it takes time. Grab a roll or two of insulation from your local HW store. Stick it in the corners stacked two high. You can take them back. Do this even if you don't seem to have the room Takes 2 minutes makes a big difference.
