So my wife and kid decide to play badminton in the living room, using the sofa to hold a net. Having an ordinary 2.1 setup, I have the TV screen panel centered between stereo speakers, which are pulled out ~4' from the back wall, while the screen is against it. We threw a comforter over the panel - and I put the speaker grilles back on. Game over, so I turn on the stereo. I swear the comforter over the screen makes a deeper and more focused sound-stage.
I mean, enough to consider making a suspended curtain out of this stuff that would be a little nicer to the TV coming on and off. It seems the comforter padding is absorbing sound and producing an audible effect. If possible, try hanging a thick, puffy blanket between your speakers somehow - if you happen to have an extra blanket around. The heck with the fireplace!
Anyone with another home remedy that worked and was perceptible? Thanks!

A large but not full-wall *hard* *flat* surface is a very unnatural thing in a sound field.
If you have a speaker baffle in an anechoic chamber you hear it just walking in.
Yeah, pad it.
