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

thanks , yes planning on adding more absorption to opposite wall...thanks for the info ...

@tommypenngotti,
Before you spend a lot of money, why don't you try hanging some differing materials.

Say, start with a large bed sheet, move on to a blanket/duvet. Then an area rug.

Each one will display differing reflective/absorptive characteristics. I think you will not only be surprised, but end up learning things you that will allow you to make a 'better' decision.

@tommypenngotti  , reading this got me to thinking that my listening room might benefit from treating the left & right perimeters.  After you conducted the above experiment, what conclusions did you arrive at?

@immatthewj 

I just threw up a blanket over a beam that goes across my living room listening area and it blocked/absorbed a bunch of reflection...so I'm going with treating both sides , haven't decided on right side because it's a wall ...more likely to throw up some absorption panels there ....
