Yes the curtain counts.

IMHO reflections do make the sound less clear and exact, destroy imaging and make bass uneven. Is your soundstage deep and wide?? No? then reflections is (at least) one of your problems.

What happens is the brain confuse the reflection as part of the original sound, as it is delayed (longer distans to travel) it blurrs sound. In effect two sounds hits the ear one slightly delayed. Imaging is destroyed and transients become something else (soft)etc etc. It is very important to try to lessen there effect if possible, meaning floor, first wall and possibly ceeling.

In the bass it also cansels certain freq as the reflected wave bouns back into the room. What happens is the same as when you drop something into water, a wave spreads on the surface. If that wave hits something it bouns back and that back wave cansels the original wave at certain freq. You get uneven respons in your room.
This is important. Maybe you dont need to add something, maybe you need to take that back wave away?

the front and back wall also needs some treatment, easy to say not so easy to do with your window on the front wall, hmm.

There are many cheap ways to try this. A rug on the wall, bookshelves with of things (anything but books), pillows, blankets and so on.

Try, reject, try again. IÂ´m sure you will end up with what your Legends can do.
