All out HT and 2 channel system

My complete setup

Description

A fairly complex system. It functions as a Home Theater setup as well as 2 channel. The sound is great, but the room is not ideal. I am looking to get some curtains up to cover the windows to the right to the speaker on the right. I also cover the LCD with a towel when listening seriously. I have recently integrated two BIC H-100 subs so that the lower octaves are more pronounced. I'd really appreciate and comments, especially from fellow VMPS owners. Thanks!
