| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Hi Buconero - center channel is for movies only. Music is strictly 2 channel. | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers @ Learsfool - there are curtains over the glass door and window. Not very thick, but there nonetheless. | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Appreciate the responses thus far. Unfortunately due to room layout, it's totally unpractical for me to place speakers against either of the short walls. I would love to try it someday, but would have to put them back anyway, so maybe better left ... |
