@benzman Yes they will help. I suggest you put 2 under TV and 1 on each side of the TV. The one’s under the TV try leaving 6 to 12 inches between them.  I’m a firm believer in how helpful acoustic materials can improve a room. Joe Nies

I’ll just have to suck it up. That’s what shipping costs are up here in Alaska. When I shipped my Aesthetic I/O to get upgraded my shipping cost was a little over $1200.00, for both ways. Outrageous. If I want something that’s what it costs. ‘Jo...
