Square room is major problem. It is just almost impossible to get good sound. My room with my Maggie 1.6 is 10 wide (I would love 12 feet wide minimum) but the length is 19 feet. Again, not ideal but way better than square.
Needless to say, for starters you must cover that window with polyester batts or something to eliminate some glare off the glass. Maybe even a big rug with a cool design, or thick blanket. I would throw the wood window slats away. For the dollar spent, you should at least try the down and dirty bass traps (rolls of insulation with drycleaner dress/suit plastic bag and Burpap covering. Place the rolls of insulation about a foot behind the woofer panel. With the MMG, they may slightly cover the tweeter. You may have to move them side to side a little to get best sound. Building real bass traps would be better, but with your room I am not sure you will attain any beter results than what the down and dirty will provide you. Maggies need a lively back wall for reflection. Treat all the corners heavily for reflection also and of course the first reflection points on side walls. With a square room, I think you may have to treat the back wall of the room with absorption at a minimum, diffusion at a maximum. If you can get some bass traps in the rear corners would be great also, but it looks that this may not be possible. There are some ceiling bass traps available that look like soffits.
I would keep your chair a couple feet from the back wall. You are basically going to have to listen in the Nearfield.
Good Luck!
