Problem with soundstage up near ceiling.

This is driving me nuts. I have changed everything. The whole system and still have this issue. The room is about 14'x20'x6'8". When seated in the sweat spot, all the highs seem to be comming from where the wall meets the ceiling. I insulated the joists behind the drop ceiling tiles and tried use Owen Corning 703 in more places than I can count.
I you have ever seen this before, give me a clue.

Wow! I thought a bunch of know-it-all audiophiles would be able help out with an actual problem.

I lowered the monitors to about 16". This seemed to help little. The tow in/out did nothing. I did not tilt the speakers downward.

Does not appear to change in height. This was observed by several people.

I finally fixed this problem by stripping the ceiling down to the joists. The ceiling effects the system in way I did not think possible. I called several people who are in to acoustic treatment and they said my problem was very weird indeed. No shit. I now need to figure out what to put back in.

I have tried everything you can imagine. The only thing that worked was taking down the drop ceiling and the old furring strips from the old interlocking tiles. I may just paint the joists black.
