Flat screen between speakers, again.
@glennewdick I will definitely give the angling a try. I have a TV mount that allows for angling and of course it is currently set up to direct everything directly at my head.

@greenhorn20 Thanks for the feedback and sharing part of your journey. Oddly enough, the picture you supplied looks very similar to what I imagined mine to look like when complete. I am currently building two short racks used 1.25" walnut shelves ...

@lowrider57 What colour blanket? (Just kidding.)I have a comforter I can try, but I also have several 1' x 4' cheap foam absorption panels that are quite light. Perhaps I can attach them to a thin 4' x 5' panel and hang that on the TV with padded ...

I had a similar issue. I started out with a full 5.1 home theatre setup AND also a two channel setup, which I would switch between. I recently combined both setups by purchasing an integrated amp with a "home theatre bypass". This allowed me to us... 
Total bass suck out at 40hz
@millercarbon No matter what you think, arrogance is not an positive attribute.If the rest of us are beneath you, please feel free to explore other options. 
I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for!
While perusing Craigslist one day I noticed someone selling a pair of "room dividers" for $25.00CDN.The room dividers were a pair of older Magneplaner's.I will admit that it did cross my mind to buy them, but instead I called her and explained wha... 
Solitary listener
@isochronism "There's no spreading germs among friends."??Covid19 loves that kind of thinking. Better to bring over people you don't like.Less downside.
