Acoustic Curtain for listening area


Hello all ....I'm polling everyone who can recommend a super heavy duty non reflective curtain for the left side of my listening area which opens up into a large open space / dining room and reflects ....Seems like all the stuff on Amazon/eBay is cheap Ikea crap....any help appreciated . Thanks

@tommypenngotti,
Before you spend a lot of money, why don't you try hanging some differing materials.

Say, start with a large bed sheet, move on to a blanket/duvet. Then an area rug.

Each one will display differing reflective/absorptive characteristics. I think you will not only be surprised, but end up learning things you that will allow you to make a 'better' decision.

The best room treatment, in my opinion, is to treat a room as a room that you live in.-Bookshelves, Art on the walls, Window treatments, etc..

In other words, lots of stuff. That creates multiple/random points for sound waves to disperse/absorb within a room.

You can get anal about making a room sonically 'flat', but that is usually the worst thing you can do.

Just put up a blanket where you think you need some absorbtion, and listen.

The time you take to learn how seemingly simple adjustments to your listening area, will help you learn what you like/dislike.

YMMV
