Is carpet on wall behind speakers counter productive?


When we installed a projection screen we installed dark carpet on the wall.  That wall is behind the speakers.  Sound quality seems very good, but I wonder if it might be even better if the carpet were removed.  The new Stewart screen has wide black borders so may not need the wall darkened, but the wall could be painted if needed.  Advice please.

simonmoon, the carpet is already inplace and has been for years. It was aimed at splash-over from projection, a problem I no longer have. I think I’ll follow mijostyn’s suggestion and leave it up. Above 2’ most of the wall between the speakers is covered by a Stewart 100" screen.

I’ll concentrate instead on relocating the equipment rack from between the speakers to an adjacent wall. As has been my usual practice, only the amp will sit on the floor between the speakers.
