Use a pair of Magneplanars or similar dipoles which have less interaction with the sidewalls the room. That will at least mitigate reflection problems.
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?

@grislybutter do you think it would be helpful to describe it unambiguously when the situation is ambitious!? |
I don’t mean to aggravate you @surfmuz but you can see people are trying to help but they are lacking basic info to understand what you need. Such as what matters to your daughter, the floorplan you later described, her interior design preferences, budget, etc. For instance, in my reading, you are trying to help her but she is... somewhere between indifferent to not seeing this as a priority? How do you help someone who is happy/fine with the status quo? I have helped (tried to help) my kids, friends and neighbors and ran into the same issue, people need to want to be helped for it to work. |
Agree with the Maggie's having less sidewall reflection problems. I removed my acoustic panel for the first reflection when I had the LRS+ in my old office. I got a pair of Mini Maggies yesterday for this same reason but for an even smaller room than the LRS+. My DSP solution with the convolution filters is a one and one solution without any visible cosmetic changes to the apartment.
