Wall Art For Music Room


Over the years I have done a number of acoustic treatments on the walls in my 2-channel listening room, but I still have a large screen plasma TV hanging on the front wall of the room (between my speakers). I keep the television screen covered with a moving blanket, but I wonder how much absorption this blanket provides.

I would love to hear input from others on this forum:

  1. Does the blanket provide any significant absorption from the sound coming off the rear of my Martin Logan speakers?
  2. Does anyone have a recommendation for acoustic wall art that passes the Wife Acceptance Factor test, while still providing good absorption behind larger speakers?

The room is treated with a combination of absorption and diffraction, but this front wall could be improved.

I appreciate your help.

Blankets and tapestries help with high frequency reflections only.If you just want to cover the TV a remote controlled accordion shade installed on the ceiling with your choice of fabric is an option. There are a multitude of colors and styles of felt wall treatments that will fit with any decor.Just Google it.Those won't absorb much either except are good for high frequency reflections.
