Window on side wall

[sixty2strat]

I have a window along my side wall. I’m wondering if there would be any benefit using laminated glass instead? I see glass manufacturers marketing as acoustic glass. But not entirely sure what that means. Sound isolation?
Are there any other possible solutions other than curtains?

I run room correction using Yamaha YPAO for the moment which helps a lot but I think this would be the major limiting factor of the room. Any ideas appreciated.

Heavy thick curtains will take you a long way

I would assume so, and I assume that's not what you're trying to fix.

Sound leaking out of the room could be a good thing (for the sound inside the room) but the difference with "acoustic" windows is likely to be insignificant.

...An open window (or open door) is like a bass trap (or other absorber) where no sound is reflected!

Yeh this is what I was thinking. It would likely make the room acoustics worse acting more like a hardwall than typical glass.

I know but I don’t know if I can bite that bullet. I hate the idea of closing blinds to listen to music for a few reasons

Drapes would certainly help., but those aside, and not adding anything else to the room, I would try toeing the speakers in to reduce high frequency reflections from the glass as well as broadening the listening area. Shifting the whole entertainment centre right might also help a little.

You don't show how close your couch is to the wall behind, nor whether there is anything on the wall behind it. Moving the couch away from the wall will help (I helped a friend of mine, also in a very reflective room, experiment with absorption. I placed all of his cushions on top of a couch he has on the right wall of his room. To my surprise, they have never left). More furnishings, like bookcases, wall hangings, etc., will help too though I appreciate your simple aesthetic.
