I have read a ton about HT room acoustics but I am hard pressed to find info on one subject.What fabrics would be great for draperies covering the entire rear wall of my HT Room. I can get away with corner base traps, some wall diffusers, acoustic ceiling but she (WAF)will not accept wall panels or wall foam. So i came to the conclusion that Draperies for sound diffusion/absorption are the best option.(they look nice, come in a multitude of dark colrs etc)
The challenge is if you by "acoustic curtains" you break the bank. In order to make them I would like to know what materials are best for acoustic diffusion or absorption?
Thanks in advance for any help in this area.

Ok instead of buying really expensive curtains, buy the fluffiest ones you can find... put your ear next to it in the store and if you feel like youve gone deaf in that ear you got your curtains. Step two. Place pictures and other hard objects around the curtains to reflect the absorbed sound in the direction desired. Good luck with the wife.
I ended up using two curtains back to back.My wife wanted light curtains, but they wouldn't block out all the light. Since they're suspended from the curtain rod on aligator clips, I realized I could clip two together. So we have light curtains on the inside, with some very heavy ones behind that effectively blocks out all the outside light, and muffles much of the outside noise. Good and cheap solution.
We had drapes made of heavy cotton velvet interlined with dacron batting. Use them (different patterns/colors) in the stereo and in the MCH rooms.Kal
I've been using cotton velvet drapes from Pottery Barn in both my 2-channel room and HT for more than 4 years and they make it easy to hide any acoustic products and also help with the acoustics.Tosh

I had my courtains made with 3 layers, the first is whatever the wife fancied, the second is some kind of filling, looks like a thick white blanket, and the third is black-out, all natural fabric, as they have randoom size fibers and work with a broader frequency spectrum...
