Looking for a good solution to cover my TV between the speakers. Cant move it

I bought a black bed comforter (at Bed, Bath, & Beyond) that I drape over my 73”. Since it is a few inches bigger than the TV, I fold the excess on the side and at the top behind the set in the top corner and use a plastic clamp to secure the excess material. Looks clean and works great!

Same setup here, floorstanders are 1ft. forward of my flat screen. I use a lightweight blanket draped over the TV. My thinking is there should be no absorbion so close to the speakers. I currently have excellent imaging and would like to keep the center area as neutral as possible. I only want to stop reflection off the glass.

+1 on the blanket. Used one myself for years.

If you want a lot more effective Owens Corning acoustic panel is the standard material inside a lot of very expensive acoustic panels. Two 1" thick panels 2x3 ft should do it. Wrap each one with fabric, done. So light and small, easy to move, extremely effective. Being 2 panels easier to move and you can experiment with things like using them angled or flat or whatever.

There is a guy here who can make covers for any equipment.  He advertises in the classifieds a couple of times a month.  He has made me a few covers for my McIntosh equipment and everything was a perfect fit and they are very good looking.  His prices are very reasonable.

The person is Stan Clewett.  You can email him at

Put a curtain rod above and in front. :)

Motorized it!

You know, another approach is to put absorbent panels to the sides of the TV, as well as making sure the floor between and behind the speakers have absorption.


Acoustics aren't all linear. A lot of it is more about the duration of sounds, so if you can't directly address a problem (like making the TV screen absorbent) you can compensate in other indirect areas.

My solution was to replace my TV with a projector and motorized screen. That won’t work for everyone as it requires being able to make the room dark for watching tv but the end result is truly amazing! Almost the best of both worlds really. Watching tv and movies on a very large screen with high end 2 channel audio with incredible imaging is in many ways better than surround sound. It allows for optimizing your 2 channel performance while also having an incredible movie/TV experience. I have no desire for surround sound with all the compromises it requires of your 2 channel setup. (Been there done that)
Theo makes a good point about changing the angle of the TV. Depending on the TV mount you may be able to tilt it up or down to direct the reflections up or down instead of right back at the listening position while listening to music then tilt it back to watch TV.

Good luck!

Years ago I made a free standing wood frame and added foam acoustic panels in it. I covered it with bleached burlap to make the appearance tolerable. It was at the time a 42” and was more centered in line with the tweeters. I now have a taller cabinet and a 55” and the same speakers, but the tweeters are on the same plane as the bottom of the screen. I angled the TV forward a bit to bring the line of sight more perpendicular to the screen. That in itself helped quite a bit, if possible maybe you can experiment with height of screen and angle.

I used to put a wool blanket over my TV to see if could hear a difference and I did. Now having the front plane of my speakers about a foot out in front of the TV screen makes it more a subtle difference, than an appreciable difference. So, being lazy, I stopped using the blanket.

There may be another solution other than a blanket over your TV, but others here with more experience will need to chime in.

All the best,
