Default Where do I start? With Pics....

Hi there, decided to start helping the the accoustics of my room, bought some decent sound insulation rockwool of the web.

I understand I need todo the whole mirror thing, but Is there anything else I should do appart from putting some panels on the side walls?

From my seating position: (Agaisnt rear wall, roughly 6 foot to the speakers when off the wall).
As you can see I'm looking down from my bed, this folds up into a sofa bed against the back wall.

As you can see above the speakers theres a sloaping roof to the left:

To the right of my seating position, the wall comes out slightly, from fireplace downstairs:

Left wall with door just out of sight:

Right wall:

I have laminate flooring throught the room, but a large carpet underneath the speakers and will be sourcing granite slabs to help tighten up the bass.

At least, you floor absorbs some reflections...
Start from the window: glass reflects better than anything in your room!

Window behind the speakers might not make much difference, except to bass frequencies, which are omni-directional. The wall to the right of the right speaker would have some interesting gains to it - any sound radiated to that side would be reflected back towards centre, meaning stereo imaging might not be perfect, and volume levels of each would be out to some degree.

The upstairs fireplace won't make much difference, as it is behind the speakers.

Seems Ok to me - my room's a lot worse (wardrobes and drawers provide interesting reflections).
