I have a window that is on my first and second reflection points. Other than putting a panel in front of the window is there anything I can do to tame the reflections? This is my living room window out to the front yard, so I was thinking maybe some kind of DIY multi-fold trap that was not perfect but better than just a curtain.

I installed soft cell shades like these: .

They help tone down the brightness.  I leave them up when I want to see outside and down when I want to listen. They let filtered light in when lowered during the daylight hours. Marigo dots claim to help also but I haven't tried them so this is not an endorsement, just a heads up.

Whatever you do on that side you'll want to be able to reasonably replicate on the other side. 

You can use thick, 'full fold' curtains that will do a decent job and act similarly to a 1.5" panel on the other wall.

Otherwise, you can use wooden horizontal blinds to push the reflections in the mids and highs down toward a carpeted floor or up and off the ceiling and replicate that with diffusion on the opposite wall.

Would a combination of the double cell shades and curtains work to mimic a GIK242 panel on the opposite wall?
I have got long curtains over the window, so I have some flexibility as long as whatever I do can be opened up easily for normal use.

Thanks,

I will have to play around with that theory. I did invest in wooden horizontal blinds but they have been pointed upward. I have a very difficult compromise room as well  with cathedral ceiling. I will post my findings.Cheers

The 242 will still work farther down into the upper bass region but it's a reasonable compromise in a real world, non-dedicated space situation.
