SHUT UP!!!!! (I don't want to hear this.) NA NA NA NA NA NA!!!!
I have a 58" Plasma between my speakers that is not going anywhere for a long time. And my wife most certainly does not want to hear this! (Thankfully the plasma does sit back a few feet behind the plane of the speaker faces so it only partially messes up the imaging depth.)
;-) |
So where was the TV relative to the plane of the speakers? I have a 42" plasma between my speakers, but it is about two feet behind. I have it as close to the wall as I can get it. Since I have a small room anything to improve the size of the image would be welcome! Always could try moving it, but it is an awkward beast to move. |
I have a similar problem in that there is a large glass framed print in between my speakers. My next project will be to install a pull string drape rod above the glass frame and simply close the set of drapes when I listen to music. That may or may not work for you. |
No doubt. I bought a bed comforter from BB&B that I drape over the screen of my 73" DLP to kill the reflection. I'd prefer a projector, but I have "room issues." |
The tv was about 1 1/2 feet behind the speakers.
I had tried putting a comforter over the tv and it did make a difference, but it was a small difference. That's why I wasn't expecting any significant change by removing the tv. Boy was I wrong. |

Ebm,
It is a big deal for some of us who haven`t reached your sonic apptiude.
In your case, however, your maturity level has room to grow by leaps and bounds.
Congratulations.

I agree 100%. When we pulled out the box TV and went to a big LCD there was an improvement. But going to a projector was a HUGE improvement across the board.
I was initially worried about reflections on the big screen, but the material acted more like a nice room treatment.
Here's a stylized shot of the setup. http://ghostlight.zenfolio.com/img/s9/v14/p644580355-5.jpg

Can a turkey fly i dont think so TURKEY!! |
Sorry i hurt your feelings dude!! |
Kurt_tank speaks for me. :)
Ebn, Whats up Bro? Mean drunk? |
Ebn,
Be a good boy, get on your bus, take that short walk to the back, sit down and don`t lick the window. |
Hilarious capt!!! Just classic! |
Thanks Ecruz. This is great information. My LCD sits to the left side of the left speaker at an angle. I cover it with a blanket when I'm serious about listening and it does help but I have no idea how it would sound if the TV wasn't there at all. I do however consider moving the TV but it would still be at a reflective point in my room. |
THE BEST!!!!! Outside of MAGICO, ROWLAND STEALTH and EVERYTHING THE BEST!!!!! Or maybe even fruit loops... |
Take a look at my system pics. The two acoustic panals leaning on the screen make a significant difference with the soundstage in the room. The front of the speakers are five feet in front of the screen!
Actually I think I could do better.
Having a big refelctive surface in the middle of your speakers is not ideal for soundstage effects. |
Im very sorry DUDES please forgive me TURKEYS!!!!!!! |
I am really sorry lighten up DUDES. |
No problem, Ebm, but you got to realise that sometimes we have revelations or problems with our systems and we want to discuss it with other members.
You`re welcome to take part in any threads that I initiate. |
I've been told that one would get a big improvement by placing an acoustic panel in front of a big screen while just listening. Haven't done it yet but it seems to make sense. |
Somebody correct me if I`m wrong, but to get decent depth staging, your speakers have to be at least 3-5 ft. from ANYTHING in the rear. |
Ecuz, sorry for screwing up our thread. You brought up an interesting point. |
I meant YOUR thread. Maybe I`ll just shut the hell up now, read the rest of the guys input and learn something! |
You are right i had a 27 inch Trinitron. Next to my left speaker than i upgraded to a 32 Flat Screen Sony on a Perless wall bracklet.The Perless is the best this bracket moves in and out up or down up to 3 feet.When i got this bracket my stage and imaging on my left speaker got MUCH better.Thanks very much guys and very good luck with your systems. |
Turkeys sleep in trees and can fly. I've actually seen them take off like helicopters if caught in a limited area where they couldn't run.
I have a large cabinet in between my speakers and sometimes feel less waddle in my neck. |
