For the record, I don't say "wow" when I see a room with too much glass in the front end. Not in a good way, at any rate. I'd suggest deeper bass trapping where the window meets the front wall.
You may want to try some visual ray tracing to see just what benifit you're getting from each portion of the glass.

Thank you for the reply Wes. Man, I don't mean to be impatient, but I've been researching and planning since last fall. I have a baby on the way
(i'm very excited!) and I need to have it built before then. I want to be as accurate as possible, but time is drawing nigh when I must cut my losses. I feel pretty confident about the amount of study I've put into it (in addition to a B.S. in Audio) and about its ability to perform the function of producing a quality product for the level it will most likely operate on. I have covered all the 1st reflections I can think of, and will have massive bass traps in the ceiling. That makes me believe the spectrum is fairly covered. I have considered flutter echo, ratios, speaker/mix pos, symmetry, line of site, wise use of space, decoupling, mass, constrained layer damping, air tight construction, room-n-room, electric/bath/HVAC, indoor/outdoor-SPL, comb filtering, critical distance, diffusion (to be added later), transmission loss needs, stereo imaging, the list of course goes on and on and on. I'll be adding much more acoustic treatment after the room is built and tested. I mainly just wanted some confirmation that I'm not screwing myself if I go ahead and build the CR. : ) So, is there anything huge that I have just completely missed? I just don't know what else I could focus on...
Many, many thanks for everyone's time,
Nathan Webb
