If you “really love the sound” why do you think you need the curtain?
For Atmos, side and height signals are, I think, more relevant than rear wall reflections.
You’ve said nothing about room size or shape, speaker placement. Even with this information I suspect any suggestions are likely to be something of a guess.

Hi. Happy to provide some more details. Our room is 15X15 however the way it is laid out (pillar in the middle) we are forced to have the TV in the corner. Currently the sound works since we are able to bounce everything off the walls, however we are in the process of painting a portion of the room black to nearly eliminate light reflection in the the home theatre portion while keeping the rest very light.
Painting the entire room black isn’t an option, so that’s why we thought a black room divider would work well and give us the visual separation.
Curtains are not going to reflect sound well, they absorb or dampen it. You could try and google for a curtain that reflects well, but the results are all going to be about sound proofing . If the curtain is on the front or back wall, then not an issue. If it’s the sides, then it will be an issue. Trueplay will try to make adjustments, but it will likely be lacking.
As far as finding better materials for a temporary walls, you’re going to have issues with most options. Temporary walls tend to be light weight and thus less dense. Dense materials are you want for better sound reflection. Maybe you could find something that is dense but runs on tracks/wheels to carry the weight. That’s surely going to raise costs, and quite possible ruin the aesthetics of the space.

Thank you! It looks like what you came back with is what were were expecting. I will saw that darkening the walls near the TV has helped out quite a bit, so we may have to go with just that in the end.
