curtain suggestion ? skip to the 2nd paragraph

Michael

My problem i believe is that my room is sonically "dead". I don't have a problem with soundstage width or depth in fact it is truely staggering, nor do i believe that its tonally askew. (i scoped it recently) The sound is just lifeless and sterile. When you go to see a performance the sound can be imperfect and raunchy at times but it's also immediate, "alive", and full of cross currents. That elusive "alive" sound is what i'm after.

I removed my curtains last night (i bet the neighbors loved that...envision old fat guy running around naked as a jay-bird)and WOW it seemed to open right up. It wasn't quite "live" enough and it also gave me some of the nasties that everyone tries to kill but a promising start, nonetheless. It looks like i'll be shopping for sheer curtains. Any suggestion for curtain types, my current currents are a canvas type material (standard curtain stuff)the wooden doors are also a option...but i'd hate to buy'em to find out it doesn't sound right.
