I do not know how you feel if you have large glass surface in your listening rooms but in my room if I have any exposed balls then I instantly feel that something is terribly wrong with sound. It is kind of ironic as when I was buying this house I did appreciate the fact that wall behind the speakers will be transparent. However, when I begin to experiment with playback in this new room I concluded that exposed glass is terminal for the why how I hear Sound. I wonder: if is there any way to deal with the problem? I can lift up my blinds but then I have to open the French doors. It works great so far but it will not be an option during cold season. So, is any glass treatment that would make it still visually-transparent and let me to have fan seeing the Massachusetts snow but at the same time to be acoustic-wise not such aggressive?

I was looking around trying to see what people use and to my surprised I did not see people alerted to the glass problem. My glass is many feet behind the loudspeakers line and it does horrors. This guy from Sound Africa:

… has his large glass window right the zone of the first reflection, on the side of the horn mouth. In my view it is absolutely atrocious configuration and it look like the guy spend no effort to deal with this glass. Ah, I forgot, the HF from Goto driver does not reflect… The image is taken from here:

I was thinking about some kind of cage or a few inch deep screens that might be hanged before glass on winter to acoustically cure the glass reflections. Did anybody  see anybody work on this problem?
