IMHO I don't believe a subwoofer will fix things.
I am thinking being without that rear wall would require speakers that put out good amount bass withou relying on rear wall. Not sure if I am right on that though, but it is common knowledge that speakers depend on the rear wall for bass output to be felt.
Hopefully more experienced audiophilist will chime in, try posting this question on the forum.

Which subwoofer do you think will fit my speakers best?
Thanks for advices

Yes, look to get some window treatments, nice heavy drapes of some nature should work well. What you want to do is cut down on the reflective surfaces that your sound bounces off of. Yes, you can go too far here and actually overdamp the room but you have to go a long way to do that. Have you ever given thought to using a subwoofer? Reason for this suggestion is that you could pull the speakers a bit further apart while not limiting or excluding the lower frequencies as they would be covered by the sub. Also using the sub would allow you to direct the lower portion to the sub releaving the burden on the L&R speakers freeing them up to do what they do well, produce the mids and highs, just a thought.

Thanks Nissancrazy for your response

The current place is most likely the only place for the system because there is no other places for sofa)) I uploaded two more shots to show the right wall. It's all with windows... In the morning I tried to move speakers wider, further and closer. The only positive effect if I put them wider - sound gets filled with air but bass was reduced (((absence of a rear wall). At the very beginning the speakers were standing very close to the system and sound was awful. So I found current place is optimal but fully agree with your opinion about potential opportunities of the system.

What's more I bought a rug and put it in front of the system. And more pictures on the rear wall.

Do you think bare windows in the room influence the sound?

Thanks again

Overall when looking at the system the first thing that comes to mind is speaker placement. It seems that the speakers are kind of out on their own and in the one picture it seems that the side wall may be causing you some boundary gain issues. Do you have the ability to move the system elsewhare in the room? As odd as it may sound I would be tempted to place the flat screen on the rear wall and the speakers as well, of course moving them out a foot or more but the rear wall willl act to your benefit and generally get the speakers out of the way. The other suggestion would be room acoustics, there seems to be many flat untreated wall surfaces, try a large area rur and some soft wall hangings, stay away from pictures with glass as this will not assist. Components selection is solid but until you play around with the actual set up/ placement you are really never hearing all that you paid for. Best of luck.
