Yup. Although decent thick curtains may look better.


Curtains work on the highs, but they do nothing for the lows.


Depends how thick the curtains are. ;-)


Proper acoustic curtains which are usually hung in double pairs, are
*very* expensive.


In our case for the 'hifi room'I used a rug which was bought for us as a
wedding present. It is (hand)made of a felt-like material. I hung it on the
wall from a curtain rail, spaced a few inches from the wall. Works quite
nicely and looks good.

Later on we bought a more conventional rug and used it in a similar way in
the living room. Also looks good and helps the acoustic.
