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.

Thanks for reporting back on the fruits of your labour!  Must admit I like the look of the diffusing panels.

I've now had a virtual look at your system and see you already have everything you need for 'immersive' sound, except possibly silver disks for the source!

I know you believe that for 'solid' sound, two channels are necessary and sufficient. I argue that two channels are necessary but not necessarily sufficient.

So can I suggest another experiment for you to report back on, which is even less expensive.  Just pop an "immersive" disk (multi-channel SACD or Blu-Ray) into your Oppo and let your Marantz processor use all its channels as it thinks best. Preferably connect them via an Ethernet-capable HDMI cable.

Many of the recordings from Norwegian label 2l.no ship with hybrid SACD and Blu-Ray containing an assortment of hi-res formats.  I've suggested Reflections which is classical but there are many Grammy nominations in their catalogue.

Love to get your reactions .
