From what I've read, it seems we are used to hearing recordings with a short, first reflection off the floor to the mic, but when multiple short reflections are combined (from ceiling, side walls) it's not good. It makes sense that a MK41 capsule might work better, with its side rejection. A cloud panel might be another approach to deal with the issue when using a MK21 or MK22 capsule.
I've got six gobo panels (5' x 2' x 4"), and at times I will arrange them in a wide U shape, and place one panel over the top to reduce ceiling reflections.
