Windows in a listening room


My 12.5' x 15' listening room has an 8'-wide patio door on the long side. I was concerned that the large glass area might be hurting sound quality, and even got an estimate on a sound-absorbing curtain—about $600. Then I watch this video1, and now I don't worry about it any more.

geoffkait, I went and looked at Marigo’s tuning dots and must say:  the web site doesn’t do a great job of explaining their virtues.

The Marigo web site for the VTS Dots looks good to me. What’s yer beef? There is a wide range of sizes and applications for the dots - from glass windows to walls to speaker diaphragms to printed circuit boards to chassis to capacitor to vacuum tubes, and beyond
All true. I was just hoping for some explanation of how they work, or what they do, or what the benefits might be. Perhaps I missed it.
steakster  If people are reading this it work it can be hard to view a video. BUT WHY AREN'T THEY WORKING?
Following  geoffkait's advice, I got in touch with Marigo Audio Lab ([email protected] and at Ron Hedrich's  suggestion ordered 4 of his SD-51 Superdots (black, 2" dia), which at $187.20 delivered were not cheap. But I installed them today and they do make an improvement in the room's response. I'm very happy with the result.
