Covering a TV behind your speakers?


I just read on another site a guy asking what difference it would make covering his TV while playing music. His picture shows a decent system but it must be in the basement. It can't be more than 12' wide. No sound treatments to be seen. I'm going through a divorce and will have to move to a much smaller one person house. I've been lucky for 30 years having my expossed basement listening room, 20' x 24', naturally almost perfect as far as sound goes.  I have been reading here and other sites trying to learn about treatments. Never heard the TV thing before. A few people responded to the guy's post that they hang drapes over the TV. I would think since current TV screens are not glass but whatever they are made of now they wouldn't cause a problem. Looking forward hearing from the experts here.

It helps facten to not rely too much on or take too seriously everything everyone posts. Do your own due diligence. You might, for example, want to search a name like machina dynamica and learn about morphic fields. You know, the information fields that emanate from things like books and cell phones. Then ask yourself why a guy with no system is a serial poster on an audiophile website. DYODD.

This was a long time ago. (2004) Small TV, far away, just a blanket, yet it made a difference. The bigger and closer the TV, and the better (more absorptive) the cover, the bigger the improvement. Mostly in terms of a more solid center image. Not a huge improvement, but worthwhile for the SQ obsessed among us.
