Boomy bass in home theater room

I have a Martin Logan/Adcom home theater system in a 14' square room (concrete floor (no basement) with typical wood stud/drywall construction). I'm using a single, Infinity 12", 300 watt (RMS) subwoofer. The room is treated with 24, 2'x2' (3" thick) acoustic foam in various wall locations. The bass is boomy, especially in the mid-bass region. I can't change the room. When you get done laughing, care to offer some realistic suggesstions?

This is kind of the poster child room for the PARC (Parametric Adaptive Room Compensation). You have a very high Q factor peak, and no amount of room treatment is going to deal with problems in that low frequency range except for one very large and very expensive custom design Helmhotz resonator (we can design it for you if you really decide to go that route).
