Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound


I have a listening room with hard wood floors, two French doors beside one speaker, two more across the room and two walls full of windows. Any thoughts on the best window treatment to improve sound? I'm assuming metal blinds are just as bad as the glass and am considering cellular blinds, which seem to be made of polysester but have an air pocket in the middle. Any experience on what works best? Thanks for the input

No set blinds will have any effect below mid-frequencies and exactly where they will change from dispersing the audio to reflecting it is somewhat unpredictable. The glass is transparent to bass and reflective of HF so, in order to have a nearly equal effect across the spectrum, you need some heavy absorbtion from the low midrange up. I've used velvet drapes interlined with dacron acoustic batting. Since the coverage is adjustable, you can titrate the effect you want.
