On the other side, I upgraded my room's treatment building some custom broadband absorbers, rebuilding my furniture and puting my monitors on concrete stands I noticed a tighter bottom-end in mixing position because of that, but maybe the absorbers are sucking too much top-end.
That is good you did that, but can you give a little more info?

1)Room dimensions
2)What other treatment do you have on side walls and ceiling
3)What is on the back wall?
4)More pictures of the room would REALLY help also.

I've thought of trying to recover high frequency reflections (placing thin wood frames over my front absorber, behind my monitors) or reducing low frequencies even more (with other Auralex LENRDs as the ones I already have). Would it be better to do both things? Or should I just try to know my room better and get used to it? That would be cheaper at least!
You don't want to cover panels that are used for higher frequencies with any kind of wood. All that will do is reflect what the panels where absorbing. It would be the same as just taking down the panel and having a flat wall.

I would like to know more about the room but if it is big enough you might want to think about some diffusors in the room.
