If you have normal "box" type loudspeakers, most of the sound goes forward rather than back toward the window. In that case a better location for absorption is on the rear wall behind you, and possibly on the ceiling too. I also think you might need to give yourself some time to adjust to the sound of absorption. An open clear sound is generally obtained by reducing the strength of the reflections. What seems too dead at first may seem better and clearer after a few days or weeks.

Thanks,
I have some extra pannels I can use on the back wall.
The ceiling is 7.5 feet in height; my monitors have ribbon tweaters, so their dispersion is primarily horizontal (rather than vertical). I'm now wondering about the midrange and bass reflections from the ceiling.
