Thank you for the responses, appreciated.

Has any body used the Acoustishade or even been asked about them?

I have a lot of glass at my first reflection point and its bad. My current curtains are whore house black velvet.

I want to go away from curtains completely and make the room more lively. I cant get anybody to use the room to watch casual TV, its too gloomy.

I hate the term Man Cave, Palace of Solitude is OK, but not Man Cave and that's what it look like.

There will be absorption/diffusion devices and corner traps behind AT fabric panels so the room does not look like a HIFI shop. Thanks for that one Bruce/Madrona.

I am going for more contemporary set up, but when the shades go down I want dark and sound absorption.

Here is a link and a quote from Stewart

In response to this growing concern, Stewart Filmscreen has engineered the unique AcoustiShade system (patents pending). AcoustiShade is designed to both measurably reduce exterior noise entering the room through the window, as well as control incoming light. A second decorative shade fabric, facing the room, offers additional benefit by providing sound absorption for noise generated within the room interior.
