Nasty slap echo

When i clap my hands it sounds like the ricochet sound from a WW2 documentary. I have panels on 1st reflection points but doesn't help. My room is 15x8x22, which are "supposed" to be good dimensions. I did have them drop the crown molding down 4 inches to put rope lighting up there. Was wondering if that is causing the problem. How harmful is this slap echo to the sound? Any suggestions?

How does the room sound? ...Sometimes a little echo can yield very nice ambiance to the music.
I know of at least one such room that has the most amazing bass and ambiance that I would give an arm for.

Oh man, that's an empty room, bare walls, nutten' to diffuse/deflect sound waves...hang some pictures/paintings and or heavy drapes to break up all that empty wall space.

I can imagine the echo in there being too much, like speaking in a big tunnel.
