It's nice having a view from the listening room, but I seem to naturally close my eyes a lot when really tuning in
That is exactly my point. I love the view but I am not sure that I want to see it while I am listening. I might love it to have as my side view that is why I am biasing to have Macondo to be across the room. That is not definitive feeling however…

That wall is just begging for a floor to ceiling window/s to extend the daytime listening room into nature. If you do it smartly you can have large opening windows directly behind speakers which help in rear reflections although they be already minimized with upper horns. In the evening with a dark night you will not see anything outside in even a dimly lit room. I can think of a few recordings that I would save for daytime listening looking upon this nature. When those windows were put in either economy or furniture placement was the deciding factor. A view like that HAS to be seen and when appropriate can be closed with window treatments in the day. Think wall of glass.
