I think I have more or less decided to put some bass traps on the back wall to see if this improves things. I was recommended to do more, but I dont really want my living room looking like a recording studio.,so 4 fairly large bass traps on the back wall is where I will start.
I am also keen not to dull the music too much as like I said I do like a lively presentation i think. For me its all a bit of a risk and an experiment so thanks for all the help on this post
Interesting although seemingly counter intuitive. Were these treatments recommended by an appropriate company?
I would have thought adding treatments to absorb/scatter the high frequencies above 6kHz would be more appropriate. I am sure there are better internet sources (not to mention books) but try the following website for the section 'The sources of unwanted reflections' as well as the following section.

You can very cheaply treat reflection points with foam and hear the results and then, if they help, replace as appropriate with more aesthetic versions.
These panels or diffusors might not look out place in a modern environment.
