I owned Quads Electrostatics, Dynaudio Confidence 5's, Legacy Focus, and today Spatial Audio Sapphires M3's. All of them were made better by the back wall having bass traps, and other smaller panels around the room, If I really wanted to go back as I once had was GIK side wall absorbers, but for looks, I've gone to canvas pictures to deaden the side walls a bit. ASC 8" by 48" panels on my walls around the room, even one of them right between the speakers behind the window blind, even taken that one away impacts the sound, and to show how important the back wall is, even turning the blinds in one direction or another will change the sound completely. I found facing them upwards but not closed really helped imaging and body and looking at it the blinds are acting as a large diffuser. Your room is your sound, so treat it, and if I may say get racks and everything else away from in between your speakers if you can, have your amp on a stand and that is it, you will benefit by doing so. Even taking off the flux green plants on top of the bass traps hurts the sound and imaging from the speakers, the front wall is important to treat.
