In Reply to: Doorway in Listening Room posted by davidbeinct on August 22, 2014 at 10:27:25:
If the doorway has a door, try closing the door. If the doorway is open style, a simple curtain may not solve your problem because bass frequencies will not be reflected and/or absorbed as much as the high frequencies will.Short of installing a heavy door, you'll need some kind of solid barrier to cover all or most of the doorway. I would suggest looking around for a freestanding room divider like the ones used in offices, conference rooms, etc...
Look around in the used furniture stores in your area. I found a large, curved pair of room dividers with solid oak trim for $50 once. These are the fabric covered, thick and heavy type. I stand them up in the corners of my listening room (convex side out), where they absorb and disperse reflections effectively.
You will have some bass leakage regardless of what you use to cover up the doorway. Installing a permanent, heavy door would be the closest thing to having a solid wall there but you may prefer something moveable, so a tall room divider might be your best solution.
