100% on Burt's thoughts. I have no idea what "reed spreading" is.
I, too, have used the ATG system for years. I pull out a new reed, go through Tom Ridenour's routine and 'bam' - I've got a good reed. NO offense to Robert Hadcock, but that's a pain in the butt to do all that.
Experiment with various reeds like Burt suggested. Strengthen your embouchure (there's countless threads with suggestions). You'll undoubtedly be brilliant sounding soon. If I were a betting man...and I am...I bet you're sanding everything too much and your reed is too soft.
