Stereo Speakers behind a perforated screen- How much loss in sound?
for audiophiles, its a no no.for big altec or jbl  type horns, the screen doesn't really stop the sound for theater.

or get a panasonic oled tv,,, the whole tv itself it the  speaker panel.works great and wife friendly.  
Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform?
Check out JBL sysnthesis.its pretty darn good stuff..
