I am in the same camp as the other members who have chimed in thus far. Square rooms tend to have issues with the bass. My dealer's room is about 20 x 20 ft, and it has a major suckout around 100 Hz.
PEQ might help in your situation and, as I understand it, dealing with a boom/peak may be easier than with a suckout/cancellation. In my somewhat similar sized but not square room, reducing the 50 -150 Hz region by 0.5dB (rather miniscule) helped to remove some slight congestion/busy-ness in the bass region and opened up the sound.
On the other hand, if it is the suspended floor that is preventing your speakers from being properly coupled, you might want to have a look at Isofeet products:

Based on the constrained layer damping concept, it would work by isolating your speakers from the vibrations from the floor and vice-versa. Bit industrial looking but the manufacturer does make them for industrial vibration isolation - engine mounts on yatchs, etc.
