Please help with room setup... thanks

are your speakers on the long wall???
may want to consider having them on the long wall in front of the curtain if possible

see the carda website or threads on speaker placement
shortfield equilateral triangle setup works wonders

also clap your hands in the room
is it a lively room with echo or fairly dead???

what floor and wall materials do you have on the other walls?

The room is *the component. Everything else is secondary.

Research and experimentation w/ speaker placement.

I have a similar configuration with my room. Curtains are good for the glass, better than nothing. I have set up, behind the speakers on the short wall, bookcases. A friend of mine had a beautiful, rich sounding room with a few rugs, furnature, and a wide book case behind the speakers...a wall of books. The random pattern of the books, uneven surfaces, help to dampen reflection. The do cause small amounts of diffraction and deconstructive interference in an uncontrolled way, but it is a dramatic, practical, and not bad looking way to help with a sharp, cold, reflective room. Also, books go well with music, and helps you to spend more time enjoying music, and not focusing on the technical details of the sound.
