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.

You should have my music room!
Seriously, take it!

I have 4 walls of glass.......
It is basically the sun room add on to the house. So 8ft glass sliding doors open out to it, then each wall is 3ft solid lower then 5 ft window all the way round.
Oh and it is tiled floor.....

So wood blinds on every window set just past halfway closed. 3 big squishy leather sofas and cushions. Huge deep thick floor rug. 

Made it very liveable and I am constantly impressed with how good it sounds considering how diabolical it should/could be.
