Default Studio Window Glass

You want double-paned laminate BUT you want it mounted so that it's cocked
slightly up or down so acoustical reflections don't strike you right in the
face.

Soundproof Windows Inc. sells a bunch of windows for studio use. They are
good, although I haven't compared them with homebrew jobs directly. They
have really cool promotional coffee mugs at the trade shows.
