RE: Treatment for rear wall behing speakers




James,
I am not sure if this will meet your aesthetic requirements or if you are willing to do a little bit of pushing and sliding for your serious listening sessions, but I built a number of these Jon Risch absorption panels that are completely freestanding and can easily be moved around the room. The one pictured is positioned to cover a side wall first reflection in front of a cabinet built into the wall that houses my records. I have to slide it out of the way to get to my records, but the MDF base I used makes it very easy to slide on the carpet.

You could use one of these in front of your French doors for serious listening and then slide it out of the way afterwards. You could even mount casters on the bottom of the base to make it even easier to move. One should also be used behind the right speaker as well to maintain symmetry. If beneficial, another could be used on the wall between the two speakers.

At 10" thickness, I have had no problems with the room sounding dead at all. They do a wonderful job of controlling reflections and tightening up the bass. Best of luck to you in getting this resolved.
