Did you build this room yourself? or was it already like this? You need to undo most of the acoustic treatment already in the room. Start by removing the egg crates from the ceiling. This should liven things up a bit. The walls may be dificult to redo/undo, but they are absorbing a lot of sound which is why you have to turn the volume up so much more than in your previous room. Most good listening rooms use room treatment sparringly and one step at a time to make sure it does not become too dead. Let us know how the egg crate removal goes and we can go one step at a time if you want.
my room sounds dead
My new room sounds really dead. I have to increase volume 3 times to get the same playing level that I had in my first room. There is no bass response. The walls are composed by rockwool covered by middle density wood panels. Ceiling is covered by egg crates and there is a heavy carpet (that I don't want to change) on the floor. What are the more efficient solutions to increase the bass response and get my room sounding more "living". I use electrostatic panels as speakers (strangely sounded plenty of bass in my first room --> L:4m l:3,2m h:2,5m sorry I don't know what it makes in feet). I've tried to put speakers closers to the walls but it sounds worst. I can hear all low frequencies when I stand up but when I'm sitting, it sounds poor and lifeless.
Thank you for helping me to go to the right way.
