I'm not worried so much about the aesthetics as the basement is unfinished (except a small portion that's a guest bedroom) and I don't plan to finish it anytime soon. The walls are concrete blocks and the ceiling is not very high probably less than 7 ft.
For reference that countertop on the wall is 8 ft long.

You're going to have a ton of issues with reflections and brightness as there's nothing in there that will absorb any of the first order reflections. This is going to translate into clarity and brightness issues. If you're not going to put up walls and finish off the ceiling any time soon, I would put in a big heavy rug preferably with padding underneath to help with some of the reflection problems. Acoustics will still be a problem no matter what speakers or room EQ you use.
