I think it's looking good.
clio09 suggests covering the blinds with another panel. I think you will have a first reflection point on the wall near to the window or actually on the window and you would probably benefit from treating it, but I would not want to lose all of the light from the windows. I think a second panel there, both on stands and raised so that the top of each panel is just above the top of each speaker, and positioned to cover the first reflection points would deal with the first reflection which will be the stongest and most troublesome one while leaving most of the window unobscured so that you get the light.
Acoustic treatment and tailoring the sound to your preferences is fine but my feeling is that I am more relaxed in a room I feel comfortable in and that the greater level of relaxation translates into a better listening experience. I would not like to lose the natural light. If the window area is still a problem with the first reflection points treated as I've just suggested, I'd prefer to swap the blinds for curtains, choosing a material which is translucent enough to still allow some light while thick enough to absorb enough of the high frequencies to take the brightness off the window reflection. I think, however, that just ensuring the first reflection points are covered may well be sufficient.
