@erik_squires - I agreed with you that the area between and behind being oversights.
I have a small 12'x12', 10' ceiling room. And it has been a b*tch to treat. I'm intending to build a proper dedicated room with better dimensions, but that is at least a year off.
I did all the 1st reflection points, back wall, bass traps in corners (floor to ceiling), corner /ceiling traps, carpet in front all the way to the listening chair, etc. It wasn't until I bought some big pillows, used for dog beds, behind the speakers and partly up the front wall until I was able to get the boomy , smeared bass somewhat under control. I know it is knocking down the reflections bouncing around the room, but it was also knocking down the bass coming out rear port on my Totem Wind speakers.
I still need to play with doing something about the equipment rack between the speakers.
As for the ceiling, I tried using horizontal bass trap panels hanging from the ceiling at it's 1st reflection point. It was "ok", but it seemed to kill any airiness in the sound. I'm suspecting that I've reached a point where I've over damped the room. so, I'm building a set of diffuser panels to replace some of the absorption ones, and will try those on the ceiling. Going to interesting to see what happens.
