My issue has now been resolved thanks to @GlennGIK and his team. Will be posting before and after measurements this weekend, although perhaps unsurprisingly in light of my use of well-behaved D&D 8Cs, the FR measurements don't look that different.
In terms of RT60 times and subjective imaging properties, however, the improvement has been enormous, and the sound that I'm getting through the 8Cs and BACCH is as good as I've heard from any system anywhere in all respects except for bass below 25 Hz.* In the final analysis, there is no replacement for displacement; subwoofers will be added in due course.
* I have not heard the system assembled by @dallasjustice, which is assuredly better in certain respects. The lack of any compromise for domestic considerations in his system was an inspiration to me, and his comments on the poor cost-effectiveness of diffusers was instructive as I tried to figure out whether to include diffusion or focus on absorption.
