Home Theater Curtains; "Find Your Home Theater Supplies":Are home theater curtains important?Theater curtains are good for more than just making your home theater room look nice. They also play an active role in the home theater acoustics of your home. How Expensive are they?Let’s face it, everything is expensive these days and a good set of movie theater curtains are "extremely expensive". Cheap curtains can start in the $50.00 USD range and easily get into the thousands of dollars for motorized high quality curtain designs.
Construction materials do contribute to how a curtain theater combination will sound. Wait... Sound? Home theater curtains can affect the sound?Yes! The Curtain-home-theater combination should be chosen with care to match the decor' perfectly and also contribute to the sound quality. Most do not consider that natural materials usually sound better than synthetic materials. My recommendation is to use fabric that is natural. Cotton, wool, or silk, pick your poison. The best home theater supplies and home theater curtain are going to be different for each installation. Even natural fibers will sound different: For example silk will sound quite a bit different than a thick cotton or canvas type fabric. The thick cotton fabric will have a much higher sound damping quality. Sound will tend to flow right through the silk bounce off the wall and pass back through again reaching your ear with little resistance. This may or may not be the effect you need in your application. If you already have a dead sounding room adding some curtains that absorb more sound may suck the last bit of life out of the front
soundstage - for more information see home theater seating layout.
In other words make your decisions on the home theater acoustics and curtains you would like to use based on your budget. But also you will obviously want the curtains to look appealing and add to the theme of your theater room. It is also fairly common to layer the home theater curtain You may need a highly damped curtain that is very thick but want the appearance of a shear thin curtain. You could do this by using two curtains, the front would be a thin shear style. The rear curtain could be a thicker curtain in a lighter or darker color to give the appearance that you desire. Make your final sound adjustments and acoustic panel positioning after the curtains are installed.Use natural materials if possible. Use of home theater partitions or curtains is a great way to add extra appeal to your home theater room decor'. More than that, it is another way to add to the overall acoustic tools that are at your disposal. Home Theater curtains bring the real theater experience that much closer and gives an authentic experience like the movie theater. Use curtains to complement the theme of your theater room in ways no other design element can. I hope this article helps you get one step closer to your Home Theater nirvana! Peter

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
