Noise absorbing curtain liners are very useful. I've got such a liner behind curtains covering 2 windows in my room, a curtain spread around 9 or 10' wide and running floor to almost ceiling, so there's a fair sized area involved. Curtains on their own helped but adding the liner behind the curtains made a very audible improvement. As you say, they're not cheap but as far as acoustic treatment goes they're also not outrageously expensive.

And I'm in Australia so my source won't work for you.
Go to a curtain store and ask them about noise absorbing liners. They should be able to give you some details.
Alternatively search the main US curtain fabric firms websites for details.
The linings in my room are a fabric called "bumph".

Been searching, found some at large store chain here in the states,, but did not say anything about for use in sound or noise blocking, nor did the reviews have any mention of it....
Still looking....I'll stumble across it eventually.
Thanks,

Relatively speaking room treatments are probably the cheapest improvement someone can do in audio...imo. Although most often its either the last and the most over looked.

Paint & treatments first, while I it is a "fresh" room. Then will worry about placement and such, but I all ready have most figured out now. Just have to get this done before school starts back up. I have a week and a day.
This room is going to be primarily a listening room and with the option of a vintage Altec 604 (I have 2 atm , have a lead on a cheap 3rd) equipped modest home theater. Looking at adding a infinite baffle sub-woofers later as well. I am waiting for the led projectors to get cheaper.....Till then I will use a plasma or a lcd screen.
Again Dynaudio, good looking room you have there.

Its good that you have a clean slate to work with, if you are using it for HT you may have a to approach it a bit differently than a 2 ch. set up.
How big is your room?
And what type of speakers will you be using?

21'x17x6'-8' with the last dim being like yours with the ceiling slanting down.....
It will be set-up initially with my Altec 604K's in 620A cabs, being fed by a pair of Bottlehead 2A3 paramour's, with a passive-pre being fed with a sacd player, Ipod and eventually a mini-mac with an dac (been ripping all my music with uncompressed wavs)..... the last 2 are in the works as I speak, they will be a couple of months away.....
I just want some sounds in their before the wife gets any bright ideas!!!
Later,
