Let's say you have a medium sized living room with a large opening to another room in one side wall.
RT60 is 0,5-0,6 s above 200 Hz. Limited room treatment could be done, like 2 or 4 half-height bass traps and a few diffusers or absorbers in critical places.
Listening distance is 3 m and the front wall is asymmetric preventing near wall placement of the speakers.
What could be done to achieve the best results in this far from ideal room?
1. Cardiod speakers like D&D or ME-Geithain for a budget like 10k Euros
2. Nearfield monitors at 2 m or less, like Genelec 8351 or similars plus one or 2 subwoofers for the same budget?
3. Multichannel setup trying to maximize the direct/reflected sound ratio. In this case with smaller satelites to keep budget in the same level, like 5x Genelec 8040 plus subwoofers?
Only for music, mainly electric music like old rock and similar.
Any other suggestions?

not doing anything, as my nearfield desktop setup (Genelec 8020+ 1x 7040) which I like a lot, could not be bettered easily in an untreated living room.
