There is a lot on this site about room treatments, if you take the time to look for it. For example remember this from a few years back? I suggest you browse the site for a while.
If you have a frequency analyzer you can move your microphone around the room and find out where the abnormalities are. You can then proceed to address those points directly.
With your carpet fiasco, I am guessing you lost the bass reinforcement from the reflective floor. The room adds a lot to the sound you hear, and you want to treat it as an active dynamic element, rather than trying to dampen it totally.
After looking at the pictures of your room ,I would consider getting some nice house plants, big ones and putting them around the room, in front of the stereo, behind the speakers, to kind of give a more relaxed feel to the room, plus they will help with the cancellations.
A long time ago, when I had electrodynamic speakers like yours and they were very close to the wall like yours, I had to wrap them up in egg crate to reduce the back reflections. I am surprised it is not an issue. This may be why you have your speakers toed in so much, as compensation.
