I have a similar case as yours. My listening position is in a sofa close to the wall and I loose focus when applying RC. Not sure though that a better mic would improve that much the sound. Probably a directional mic can help as suggested by Phil. I was also thinking about placing some kind of absorbing material behind the mic to attenuate the reflexion on the back wall.
