Steve,
I don't get it - why would you treat first reflection points on a long wall that is 23 feet?
I agree that the rear wall is a problem. However - it depedns onyour listening position....where is this?
Suggestions
1) adjustable wooden slatted blinds over the windows - these can look very nice and will act as diffusers and absorbers....of course they are extremely expensive but at least they are nicer than curtains - it wil also allow you to darken the room for watching sports during the day on a big screen.
2) Put your screen & mains where the fireplace is...flat screens are small and I have seen some designs where a screen is hidden in a cabinet or where a projection screen coes down from the ceiling.
3) You can turn the fireplace into a good RPG skyline absorber - this is what I have done - see my system - of course this is only of maximum benefit if the fireplace is behind the listening position...rear wall reflections from behind the listener being the worst problem in most home setups.
