Hmmm...okay...always willling to learn. Acoustic treatments are an option I suppose. As far as placement goes, the room design has me limited to placement in the least favorable configuration: spread across a corner with large windows on either side. To make matters worse, the windows have vertical blinds, not drapes.
Sadly, this is a family room, not a dedicated H/T room and I literally have no other placement options. The house is a tri-level, so the family room is partially below ground (windows are at ground level). Walls are paneling over drywall over concrete.
I've done what I can so far to make it workable (the Athenas are front-ported so as not to be venting back into the big empty void and the furniture is set up so listening isn't too far off axis). Are acoustic treatments a realistic option without getting into heavy money?
