Another possible suggestion is to place the speakers asymmetrically in the room. Have one speaker places closer to the side wall than the other. One speaker closer to the back wall than the other. Move the listening position so that the speakers are equal distance from the listener and the listener is facing between the speakers.
The logic behind this is to not place the speakers in a position to reinforce the bass by interacting with each other.
I personally use a set up similar to what I have described including the use of five large leafy artificial plants behind the speakers. It took the bloom / boom right out of the room. Tone balance, timing, dynamics, imaging and detail is now superb.
