NP thanks for the clarification. Then we know that you have reached your maximum of treatment as I said before. ;)
Then it is time to measure and identify issues and solve them with a little DSP in the signal path between preamplifier and power amp/s. With that solution you do not need to put any sound treatment anywhere.
Benefits:
Regarding the integration between sub and speakers.. I am able to turn off my bookshelf speakers. And only listening to the subwoofer. I got very surprised when I could hear faint in the background when the subwoofer were playing the sound of the singer and other instruments that is higher in the frequency range..
And the cut of frequency were at the lowest setting at 40 hz!
I should not be able to hear a singer at all. I suppose the implementation of the knob on my subwoofer were using a shallow x-over slope perhaps max 6 dB/octave.
But with the DSP doing its job and I use 48 dB/octave at 53 Hz. Now the problem is solved with that the subwoofer will only amplifie and play those frequencies it should and nothing else.

Benefits:
- Better integration between sub/s and speakers by:
- > by be able to compensate distance/time difference between sub/s speakers.
- > by be able to use Lindquist steeper x-over filter that he also advocate for.
- Adjust the unlinear frequency response of your speakers (all speakers has that more or less) or maybe there is a dip that you like.
- Adjust for unlinear frequency response how your room interact with your speakers.
- Being able to adjust for "Equal-loudness contour" (Fletcher-Munson curves or international standard ISO 226:2003)
- Being able to adjust for your own preferred sound preference.
