Building TV cabinet; should I use wall speakers or bookshelf type speakers behind fabric?

I'm building a TV cabinet that the TV will live in and raise up out the top via a motor. I want to put a left, right, and center channel in the cabinet. My options are to place front ported or sealed bookshelf type speaker behind acoustically treated fabric or use wall speakers. Any recommendations?

Yes, speaker height above all else.

As for ports, I've never had any issues with either front or rear.

However, very small ported speakers at volume might have issues.

It's a nice idea to have them behind fabric.

I'd prefer not to see the speakers.

Well that's one way of doing it!

I'm assuming the BBC, after trying a different experiment, decided to use Tygan for their legendary LS3/5s.

However, there must be other sonically transparent grille materials out there.
