Wooden blinds vs cellular shades for acoustics

Hi again, yes, the dynamat is a very cheap alternative to the marigo dots...it did work on my windows. I bought mine off ebay, cut it into 2" circles, and placed it an inch out from the corners in every corner. It works. The Marigo's do a much better job, don't ask me how, you should call the Marigo guy, he's doing great business, he seems to have hit on a very successful product. plus, money back guarantee. look at his website, or check the review on 6moons. I still have skeptical friends,(who have issues in general) but me and my friends with ears are totally sold. I would think it's a much better alternative either way than getting new windows. I did, but not because of that, replaced 110 yr old ones with new ones, and the dots improved the new glass as well. If you like your glass, its sealing properties and all, just get dots.

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.

Being a natural material, wood makes a good insulator and acoustic diffuser. Here are some more interesting tips about wooden blinds http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Ins-And-Outs-of-Wooden-Blinds/1084597 . Hope this helps

Anyone else have any experiences they want to share with adding Dynamat, Marigo dots or something similar to windows or glass surfaces in their listening rooms?

Thanks
