Default Pottery Barn Blackout curtains?

We've been looking at these blackout curtains due to their suitable shades (cream or sage green). Any sense for whether they would be sufficiently to stop reflections from speakers that are say 16ft away?

Alternatively any other curtain sites we should check out?

I think they would work OK, when I did my room I checked out curtains from all the usual places including Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn and Ballard Design. I did Pottery Barn curtains...they were the best band for the buck for me. I went with standard curtains, not the blackouts....the blackouts were pretty heave and my room is already pretty dark as it is so I wanted some filtered light. Here's a link to my system thread, the curtains are a bit darker then they look in the picture, this is with full sun right on them, they look a bit thicker most other times. Check out Ballard Designs, they have some pretty nice stuff too.

Those pics look great Buck. You also have many similar colors to us in your room. I'm open to looking beyond the usual furniture places but just don't know where to start.
