Panels on the ceiling

I'm going to cover the popcorn ceiling in my music room.  Any ideas for 12x12 or 24x24 acoustic panels to cover the intire ceilin and where to get them? Then should I also be putting something on the ceiling for reflection in front of the speakers? Room is 14x24x8. I already have some treatment on the walls. Carpet on the concrete floor. No padding. Room already sounds good.  Just want to cover the popcorn without affecting sound quality.  Maybe improve it. Thanks. Don't know where I should place this question.  There isn't a spot for room treatments.

@erik_squires hoping you would chime in. Im basically lookig to cover the popcorn.  Don't want t to scrape it because its got asbestos.  So i thought something decorative that would enhance the sound quality. Metal? Plastic? Something absorbative? Look at my system and you will see what i have on the walls now. Back wall is almost identical to the front. No echos bass is good with three subs. Thanks

OP:  I'd use hanging panels.  Better bass absorption.

Have the popcorn removed, it's an easy job, especially if you have someone else do it.

You only need to do the first reflection points on the ceiling, I went with 3 GIK 244 spaced 8inches apart using the cloud brackets the have available.
