How would you treat this room???

Damn much greatly appreciated on all the info right there. Really appreciate it for real. Ill check out the link and read up more also but will take all advice ans get to work. Will take some time but ill post updates up.

And considering the size of the room do you think 8 inch monitors are fine? I want 8s for the bass but im in an apartment and I can't really blast the monitors. Not sure if I should stick with 5s and use cans for the bass. Im ditching the bx5a deluxe and would get the a5x if I stay 5.5 inch

So based on your measurements, I get the following axial room modes present:

So, some problems that need treating straight up are

56Hz - 2 dimensions
113Hz - 2 dimensions
141Hz - 2 dimensions
170Hz - 2 dimensions
226Hz - 2 dimensions
283Hz - 3 dimensions
565Hz - 2 dimensions

given that two or more dimensions have a reinforced mode at that freq.

Now to setup.

Move your desk so that your listening spot (your chair) is about 6-7' from the windows.

Add heavy curtains to the windows to stop sound getting to the glass and being reflected.

Add heavy curtains to the archways to stop sound getting into the corridors and bouncing around and making even more problems.

Add a mix position cloud that starts out in front of the desk and then tapers upwards as it reaches to you.

Broadband mid traps on each wall.

Broadband bass traps at the corners.

Broadband diffusers around the walls.

Though room modal analysis can give a clear detail to where your modes should be, they are rarely at those same frequencies...and considering the open areas to another room completely interfere with modal analysis, unfortunately those predictions will likely be far off. However - the same general principals and ideas you listed will be extremely helpful. Just like all rooms - you will likely have some large bass resonances, along with some peaks and dips along the entire frequency spectrum. The only way to know for sure is to test the room, which you could do if you had a microphone handy.

Otherwise, bass traps would certainly be helpful (in the corners, as well as at first reflection points on the walls and ceiling) for starters. Make sure you are centered between the left and right walls. Curtains on the windows in front of you shouldn't be extremely necessary as no first reflections will be at those points (since high frequencies are directional and your speakers point forwards).
