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.

Do a little research emcdade, it is amazing what electricity, heat and lighting can do for a dungeon these days. Some even have wall to wall carpeting. Me personally, I prefer the nicer Persian carpet. Roll up the carpet, roll out the rack, do a nice little side business in S&M.
