Am I the only one wiht speaker cozys ?

My home theatre speakers (and I occasionally use my L/Rs for music listening) are all covered in black velvet. (Except the front of course).

In this case it is to eliminate any light reflection from the speakers back to my projection screen, and also for the speakers to totally disappear from view when the lights are out for movies.

Though I also like that benefit when I pull out the L/R speakers to listen to music.   In low lighting they really disappear from view leaving just the sound floating in the room.

erik,

I'm with you on this.  I'm sort of amazed so few people think of the idea of covering their speakers.

I really like a nice room decor and hate to ruin things with a pair of either ugly speakers, or even with just the wrong speaker finish.  (I didn't keep my Harbeth SuperHL5 plus speakers mostly due to the fact I still preferred my Thiels over them, but also the aesthetics weren't right.  In of themselves, their wood finish was gorgeous.  But it was a totally wrong wood shade for the rest of the room, and just stood out as 'blech.')

I had looked at a number of speakers, and some intrigued me on sonic grounds, but didn't come in a finish I liked.  I was fully prepared to try a fitted fabric over them, as it could be chosen to perfectly blend with the room, and it worked out so well for my home theater speakers.

But I found speakers whose finish I love, so never got to that point.
