Actually, as you can see in the pic, my ears are exactly 38% from the front wall (if we consider the back of the alcove the back of the entire room), which is the optimal position according to Ethan.

I calculate the side-to-side first mode at about 50Hz. Setting your speakers wider _may_ help this some. Front to back, you should have pretty good nulls at about 30 and 90 Hz. Moving closer to the window will help this.
Bottom line: move things around until its a bit better, naybe you can find an arangement you can live with. The bass traps will help, but in a small room, the center is a bad place for your head.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try setting the speakers wider.

BTW your room set up looks fine also.

Thanks Glenn. Currently I have all wall to wall corners covered from floor to ceiling. The way I made the traps was I bought some rock wool that was dense enough (about 70 kg / m3, I believe). Then I just stuck three 2" slabs together, wrapped them with some fabric and stapled the fabric in place nice and tight, using a single board of wood at the back. Maybe I'll go into more detail and post some pics once I make more of them.
