Hello Erik,
I believe you're familiar with my thoughts on good in-room bass response. Your new room is a good size but has a lot of hard surfaces. Bass sound waves are going to radiate outward in an omnidirectional pattern from your speakers and sub. They'll continue to reflect off room boundaries (walls, ceiling and floor) until they collide with another, are partially attenuated by bass room treatments or run out of energy.
All the bass you perceive at your listening seat will have reflected off at least 1 room boundary on the way to your ears and body. Trying to time the arrival times of these bass soundwaves, or absorb them is futile.
It's a better strategy to not fight the bass physics and psycho acoustics in a room and let them work for you. I suggest you add a 2nd sub and optimally position each within your room for powerful, dynamic, fast, smooth and detailed bass at your listening seat that avoids room modes and seamlessly integrates with your main speakers.
Best wishes,
Tim
