Flatscreen between speakers


Has anyone found a solution to cancel or at least improve the acoustic glare caused by a flatscreen tv on the wall behind the speakers? I don’t have a dedicated room and have to share the room with my home theater setup. I have thought of using an appropriate curtain and treat the tv as if it was a window. I am also considering light 3D printed panels that I can temporarily hung when listening to music and take down when watching TV with the wife. 
I tried hanging a couple of thick towels on it to see if there would be any improvement and the answer is yes. The center image is more solid and a little deeper. Nothing drastic but if I could squeeze anything positive, why not. Please let me know if you have confronted this issue in the past and whether you were able to solve it. Thanks.

“And never the Twain shall meet…

my experience has lead me to believe that 2 channel and HT have no business being seriously pursued in one room. Doing so allows for too much compromise to do either side justice (unless done temporarily for experimental purposes).

“Could you please list where you see the incompatibilities?”

My experience is My Experience. The List includes (but is not limited to) HT and HiFi “things” I have learned to no longer waste time, effort and/or resources on…

Low efficiency speakers, low impedance speakers, subwoofers, encode/decode protocols, extraneous wiring, room reflection issues (proper room treatment is of Primary Importance), screen reflection, multi speaker radiation interaction, digital glare, inadequate digital “sound processing “… I could go on but to what point?

My experience had lead me to organize my audio systems thusly…I have my HT system in the living room (where it belongs) and the 2 channel in a dedicated room (where it belongs). High efficiency, Large Full Range speakers, custom electronics (almost exclusively hand assembled), science guided room treatments and as few wires and connections as possible.
