Err.. a friend of mine has serious hoarding issues and over time was running out of storage space for his DVDs (+X-Box / PS3 games). Eventually he began stacking them on the floor on front of his Eltax Symphony speakers.
Eventually the pile began to grow upwards and slowly block the bass driver of his floorstanders. Finally came a point where the entire left speaker was operating from behind a wall of stacked DVDs.
Did it still sound good? Surprisingly yes, given that he had doubled carpets on his floor and the speakers stood very wobbly on top, either side of a large TV cabinet. Or maybe that helped with isolation!?
In any case no one complained when watching DVDs and the switch from TV sound to speaker sound was always welcomed by everyone.
