How should I treat window behind listening chair?


My room is set up using Immedia mapping principal. I use a McIntosh 1700 receiver and JBL Alpha 1 speakers. A window is behind the ideal listening position. The sound is very good and there is no apparent vibration, but I would like to optimize the quality of the sound as much as possible. I'm afraid a drape will absorb too much sound.

Brick it up!
Seriously: I think it's nonsense to hunt for the "ideal room" because there is no such thing. In every concert hall there are hundreds if not thousands of "compromize-spots" to sit in. Who would like to sit in the same seat for a - let's say- guitar recital and an orchestra concert, for a William Byrd mass and Orffs Carmina Burana, for a jazz big band and a choral concert?? I doubt that your window - while probably slightly changing the sound in your room - is doing any bad effect to your LISTENING TO MUSIC which means that any damping will only CHANGE the sound but won't improve your enjoyment of the music!
Relax and enjoy - or call in the brickie.
