... replace the thick carpeting on your floor; it is (along with any padding underneath) killing the sound in your room.

If you have flat paint on your sheetrock walls, use satin finish vinyl latex. Remove any wallpaper that may be on the walls because it will also absorb acoustical energy and slightly "deaden" the acoustics of the room.
