I have used partially open wood blinds for years and this is a good start, but I have cellular shades over the sliding glass door and this is a better midbass/bass trap and allows for high dB listening without a standing wave. In addition, I have a coffee table in front of the couch, between me and the speakers and I covered the bottom of the table with foam egg crate and this is another great bass trap, and is not visible. I use this under all furniture I can get to until the bottom end is tame. Wall tapestry is another good tweak if needed. Too much though and the bass will be thin, pinched and dry overall. Tuning a room is the art to fabulous sound....Jallen
Wooden blinds vs cellular shades for acoustics
Standard old school advice for large window acoustical treatment seems to be "heavy draperies". Some cellular shades (Hunter Douglas, Bali) have high factory-rated NRC (0.60 or better). That's about the same for what little I've found for draperies.
Recently, I heard that partially-open wooden blinds are best for acoustics, acting through diffusion, rather than absorption. Opinions? Experiences?
Thanks
