OK, another problem is too much in the middle. Most, if not all synths are NOT stereo. So don't run them hard left and hard right. Run them mono. Pads, strings, etc leave stereo but delay one side 7-14ms. In PT you can shift one side early and the other late by the same amount.
Don't run all your reverbs stereo. Try using the the same setting on two different units. Pan unit one all left, and unit two all right. Use slightly different settings on the two units and you will have stereo verb with a nice hole in the middle instead of mud.
