Actually, that's not all that bad and quite common. First, your open kitchen is fine. Nothing you can do about that and I'm sure it has enough odd angles in it to keep the waves from focusing on one particular area in your A/V room. Second: The rear wall. As long as your speakers are out from the wall you are fine. And you can always add acoustic foam _under_ the paintings. Refer to the Cardas website for optimum placement away from the rear wall. Third: The glass wall may be the easiest one yet to affect a real positive improvement. There are a few companies that make 'acoustic' or noise-blocking curtains. Typically for city environments where your want to eliminate street noise from entering. I bought some when living in Boston and when we moved to the ocean I found that they make for great interior absorption also. I like looking out when listening to music, but the sound is much more refined when I close the curtains. -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.
