LCD TV, how does it affect your 2 channels


I just have one room for all the AV stuff, and I'm a 2 channels audiophile. Now I'm considering putting up a HT by putting up a LCD display in the center. I think having a glass surface will screw up the sound and especially the imaging. Do you know how serious the impact is?

Thx in adv!

(project would be ideal but it's too costly for casual TV watching)

Hevac1,

Could you elaborate on the 'drum skin' effect? How much does the bamboo sash help?
Daisiu,

When play my 2 or multi channel system I notice that my Stewart Firehawk projector screen moves ever so slightly but it does move.
When I listen to 2 channel music I hear the center image shift from time to time. Some focus on the instruments especially in the midbase loose some of their focus and can seem to get skewed or loose tightness. When I use a bamboo role type shade I do not have the problem. Every thing seems to have more solidity and focus to it and my midbass it more taunt.
With milti channel movies I cannot notice a difference because I have a center channel I think. If I listen to SACD or DVDA I still notice the sound is better with the shade down.
I am trying to find a better and more attractive solution than my bamboo shade but have not found it yet. I don't like thick drapes by the way, thats what most people seem to use. At one time I had hung a rug in the center of the screen. That also did a good jub but the bamboo shade has been better.

I got a collapsable screen to run movies. I just have to lower the screen to open
the middle. I have bipoles, and something blocking the middle wall bounce does
screw up music. Right now we have a 40" LCD set in the middle, as we wait
for another projector. I found all I have to do is spin the light TV around so it is
on edge. That works.
