Onhwy61 gives good advice that had not occured to me. Listening in the nearfield (which really means with you and the speakers forming a near equilateral triangle, about 6-8 feet from the speakers) significantly reduces room effects.
Also having the speakers well away from the rear and side walls (like 2-3 feet) and toed in towards the listening position will all help. Hopefully this will work for you aesthetically .... it doesn't work for my wife so I have a dedicated listening room in the spare bedroom.
Also a highly reflective room will tend to sound bright, and will not tolerate loud music without starting to sound muddled. Hopefully you enjoy listening at moderate volumes.
As for suggestions what is your price range and the rest of your system ?
