It looks like your in good hands, all pretty good advise.
Consider hanging an attractive tapestry on the wall behind the table and centered between the speakers. Something at least 5 x 6 feet or so. Made sure it hangs 1 inch away from the wall at a minimum so that it is not touching the wall. This is high-tech diaphragmatic absorption disguised as decoration. This will add focus.
Also, the power strip is not helping you. Consider getting a TRIP LITE model ISO-500 isolation transformer to replace the power strip. It will have four receptacles one one end and a captive power cord on the other end that you will plug into the wall. This will add focus.
Also make sure you have the correct pad under that rug. Making the rug diaphragmatic with a specific kind of pad is essential, more than doubling the effect of the rug. I checked google images and 100% of everything that comes up is wrong. It will not work to create a diaphragmatic effect and therefor has little detectable effect on the sound.
Here is what the correct pad looks like:
And finally if you find an ideal spot for the speakers, put some sand or rocks in a leather pouch and place it on top of each speaker. This will add focus.
