If I understand this right... you have a recessed bay window in between the speakers?
That pocket is allowing sound to collect within it, and might explain why your tones aren't displayed accordingly.
When I had a really big box TV in between my speakers the sound collected on top of it and to either side until I brought the plane of the spakers out well past the face of the big screen TV. But that cost me too much speaker (real) estate so I had a false wall built to ensure a solid flat surface behind the speakers and in between them.
When the TV rolled off into another room, I had a big hole in it's place... kind of like a fireplace, but bigger and deeper.
Like Chuck said, curtains did the trick there. hiding the hole.... but then the sound would collect in there too... sometimes it was great. Added depth was fine by me. Sometimes though it was not intuitively done and disconcerting.
Now there are bi folds covering the hole, and a really big hunk of thin asphalt I use for a projection screen which flips up to give me access to the new closet area.
Again, now sound still collects into the screen area some, though not nearly as much. Again, curtains fixed things there. The previous curtains went to the back of the room, and that helped too. With Newbee's suggestion of deadening a side wall and leaving one live, I'm thinking "More curtains?"
Super.
I'm begining to hate curtains. They're expensive.g... well, if you want something worthwhile hanging around your room.
