Acoustic Curtain for listening area


Hello all ....I'm polling everyone who can recommend a super heavy duty non reflective curtain for the left side of my listening area which opens up into a large open space / dining room and reflects ....Seems like all the stuff on Amazon/eBay is cheap Ikea crap....any help appreciated . Thanks

Well.....It sounds like it's curtains for @tommypenngotti ....

Oh, stop the groans....even the obvious pun has it's limits.....

I've hung  a 3'x5' Navaho rug over the TV ( for God's sake it's only to read blu-ray/dvd-a menus ), a very course weave, of the sort recommended by R. Vandersteen for 1st reflections. 

So, course weave is worth trying.

I know...the dreaded tv...I like to run vids of bands that correspond to the LPs when listening....might have to just deal w some reflection on some occasions and other times cover it...thanks 

OP,  curtains can help and I do not know the product you have ordered but would like to point out that the smaller the room the more you need absorption and that absorption needs to be broad-band in performance.

Usually 4" thick frames are used to house 2" thick fiber panels with a 2" air gap behind. Curtains will absorb over a much narrower band and therefore not as effective. Perhaps you can use what you have in conjunction with some more curtain.

What I have done for some, especially those with wife with scowling face, is to use a multi-track curtain-rail system that allows to hang 2 or preferably 3 curtains. This will look the same although be a little more bulky. The fact that they are physically separated will broaden their frequency of absorption.

It would help further if you placed some absorption on the opposite wall if possible.
