Yes, I cover up my 27" TV while listening.

Hi.

As HI is getting so in-home popoular, many overlook the sonic effect of a TV which when placed commonly in between the front stereo speakers.

Ideally, a stereo sound room should NOT be a HT movie muti-channel venue as well.

Too many hardwares inside the room, worst of all the big screen TV in the centre, would block out or deflect the stereo imaging & soundstaging when playing serious stereo musics let alone the adverse sonic effect due to the centre, side, & rear speakers placed over around.

Too much hardwares to allow the music to flow freely. I am still figuring out should I or not to put my HT system in as I am not a movie fan at all. My 100W 10" subwoofer is still sleeping unpacked in its carton.

As my 27" TV is placed in the centre besides my audio rack very close to the front wall, I've purposedly to move my stereo speakers up 5 ft away from the TV & the audio rack at the back wall, & 3 feet from the side wall for the right channel speaker. So there is abolutely nothing in the centre area between the stereo front speakers.

Of couse, my audio rack & the TV beside it are entirely covered up with woollen branket to minimize sound deflection when music is on.

So far it works out fine. The imaging & soundstaging come out flying colours.
