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.

It's hard to say without listening.  I can say the very best room I was ever in was a small room but was very, very dead acoustically.  Overall, I would lean to highly damped rooms than live ones.
