You definitely have a room that is working against you.
Yeah, I had to plan the house in a real hurry and didn't think about acoustics. The builder asked about stepping down the foundation for a home theater and I laughed at him -- "who would want a theater at home ?".
Even worse, I had an idea in the back of my head about putting up a separate building with a dedicated listening room in the imaginary future (you know the one where we have more money ?) and letting the Rives Audio folks go nuts with the design, but in hindsight I probably should have made a nice rectangular house with more walls, more golden rectangles, and fewer windows.
