Panels to treat a vaulted ceiling?

My listening room is 16x23 with a vaulted ceiling, hard floors, hard walls and sometimes hard to listen to. I listen across the short side of the room using only 2/3 of the width leaving the highest part of the ceiling about a foot to the right of the right speaker. Book shelves and a large rug have tamed the floor and walls. All is well at low listening levels but how do I control the ring and echo that 400 square feet of ceiling produce at high listening levels. This is the only room that gives me a problem. I saw the spell check thread a while back and hope I have not misspelled ceiling a half a dozen times.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You are probably better treating the floors (and possibly the walls) rather than the ceiling. I have a similar room. Is the ceiling higher above one speaker than the other? Can you place the system on the wall under the low end of the ceiling so the speakers are firing down the long end of the room? This will provide better balance and maybe less trouble with reflections.

At one time I had my system set up similar to what I described, and it sounded much better after I moved it 90 degrees to fire down the length of the room.
