Am I the only one wiht speaker cozys ?

I was just thinking about something. My speakers end up being too close to other furniture and to the walls so I ended up covering them with unused, sound dampening curtains to improve the smoothness and imaging.

They can look rather nice if clean and ironed.

Am I the only one who does this?

My home theatre speakers (and I occasionally use my L/Rs for music listening) are all covered in black velvet. (Except the front of course).

In this case it is to eliminate any light reflection from the speakers back to my projection screen, and also for the speakers to totally disappear from view when the lights are out for movies.

Though I also like that benefit when I pull out the L/R speakers to listen to music.   In low lighting they really disappear from view leaving just the sound floating in the room.

True, but given how hideous some speakers may be to room decor, this idea is not aesthetically incompatible. Just have to pick the right colors and fabrics.

It's not like my speakers look homeless or sick with the flu you know. :)
