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.

I have drapes on 3 of the four walls of my listening room because it's a very small room and had annoying slap echo (clap your hands and hear it ring). I find the drapes hugely improve the sound.

However if your system sounds dull and lacking in treble detail the drapes will make it more so, as they affect high frequencies proportionally more.
