Room with glass windows as a walls.

My daughter moved from first floor townhouse apartment to 42nd floor skyscraper apartment and fifty percent of her apartment walls are actually glass windows from floor to ceiling now.

I helped her with setting up her system at old place and the sound was pretty decent however new apartment acoustic wise is total disaster.
 Of course I did put her system together at new place but sound is terrible. She actually understands all my explanations about acoustic issues at new place, but she doesn’t take it seriously. My daughter  actually listens to a lot of music, sometimes for hours however I wouldn’t call her audiophile, probably just a serious music lover and I understand that she will have listening fatigue pretty soon at her new place.  

Acoustic treatment probably would be limited or refused due to esthetic and design incompatibility. Has anyone experienced setting up a system in such conditions, any advice?

In extremely reflective envrons there seems to be only two solutions, both mentioned here. 1) dampen the hell out of it (heavy curtains like theater curtains- very expensive) , 2) distributed low level nearfield playback

There is an another option. Get Wavetouch audio speakers. Unlike other speakers (more 1st reflection points on walls, floor, and ceiling), walls and a floor influence much less to WT speakers’ sounds.

One must find used WT speakers. I have no time for WT speakers for a long time. Alex/WTA

@onhwy61 very true, it's implied in his post that she doesn't care about these issues

I agree with the earlier DSP suggestion. Grab a Leagcy Wavelet and let it help tame things.

@onhwy61 you right, youngsters needs their freedom, totally agreed with you, I’m actually proud of my kids being free and independent at their young age, however when you know your child and when you see that she is interesting in something you interesting too, you want her to keep running that good game and you want to be helpful that’s all.
