B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics

We Recently moved into a new home that has terrible room acoustics, 12' ceilings, tile floors, glass window walls.  Open floor plan with no possibility or room treatment. I've never owned B&W speakers curious if they will glare in a very resonate room. Previous tried Kef Rs meta, Dynaudio special 40 and Sonus Faber Sonetto w/ Rel T9x with no luck. Paird with Hegel h390. Auralic streamer.

Thank you for yhe advice. I contacted mini-dsp and quarried if a mini-dsp Flex with Dirac would help my room. The answer was no, it cannot correct room echoing. I do have a large area rug which I'm sure helps but not nearly enough. Just trying to prevent the cycle of buying to find out if it get any better.  Thought the Sonetto's V  floorstanders might help, but alas no.

Thanks everyone.

I was planning on using REW once I got a sound signature that was somewhat palatable. 

I'm hesitant going back to horns, previous owned Forte IV's which were a love/hate relationship. The thought had crossed my mind though.

It's all a bigger compromise that I bargained for with this room. The harsh reality that good equipment can't trump room acoustics is a hard pill to swallow.
