I'll finish the walls and ceiling in foam and black cloth in a near future... I guess with only the floor as a "reflective surface" it shouldn`t be that bad.
Your speakers are actually closer to the floor than to any other surface around it. So treating the other surfaces without dealing with the floor just makes the floor bounce mode or node more noticeable. It is far wiser to treat the surfaces closest to the speakers where it will do the most good. Just treating the side walls and ceiling with foam is throwing good money after mediocre results. Most acousticians will tell you to carpet the floor, add room treatments where needed, and use diffusors on the ceiling. Good acoustics are a combination of diffusion and absorption, not just absorption. Too much absorption actually makes a room sound unpleasant, and just spotlights weakness in speaker design. Ever listen to music or watch a movie in a anechoic chamber? Not good.
