Congratulations. It sounds like you're on the right path. I can highly recommend Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" as a systematic way to improve your sound and room.

Two surprising things I found that improved my imaging and staging...
... First off I have a odd room for my two channel listening and have been getting beat up trying to find proper placement. I have been reading a lot here and on the inter web and decided to use the room setup calculator on the Cardas site. ( http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php )
#1 was how close to each other the speakers are now. I wouldn’t have placed them that close together.
#2 was that the best imaging and staging is with zero toe in.
Having a hard time wrapping my head around these changes but it’s the best my system has sounded since I finished the putting it together. lol
