RE: Wall treatment for close listening position?

This is not so much of an issue as the seating location is. It doesn't sound like a problem since it's centered, and more importantly not a deep space. Some people have problems with cavity resonances due to a fireplace or, less likely, a deep bay window on the front wall behind the speakers. If the flat screen is at listening height and set flat against the front wall in the window space with some curtains drawn in front of it, don't worry about it.

You don't say, but if you have any asymmetrical door openings on one side and/or behind the speakers, you've got a bigger problem, as that will significantly shift the sound stage to the opposite of the opening unless you can close it.

If you think you're going to spend time with speaker placement, I'd advise buying a cheap USB mic and downloading a copy of REW to a laptop and measuring things. If you're limited by room layout, don't bother and enjoy.

Good luck!
