One thing that sticks right out is that the room is exactly twice as long as the ceiling is high and the width is very close to 1.5 times the height (2/3 the length). A good listening room has no even relationships between the dimensions, a really good room even avoids parallel walls and ceiling/floor to cut down on standing waves.It is always a problem when the dimensions in a listening room are multiples of each other. The worst possible type of room for audio is a sphere, a square room is not much better. In your case you are getting standing waves from the sound bouncing bach and forth end to end and ceiling to floor that are reinforcing at the same frequency. If you listen carefully, I'll bet you can probably hear a kind of "booming" or slurring of quick attack transients at certain frequencies due to this.
I don't think there is much of anything you can do that will really help this room (short of moving walls). Got any others rooms you can listen in (headphones anyone)? The only thing I can think of that might help would be room dividers (to let you temporarily change the rooms dimensions while listening to music), sounds like a pain to me too.
