I sometimes watch movies through my 2 channel system (no HT) so the TV is mounted on the wall between the speaker that are pulled out into the room several feet. I just started looking into this while planning some room treatments. I wasn’t sure how much it would matter so u was going to leave it to the last phase of treatments and maybe experiment. It just so happens that my TV developed a picture issue and needs to be replaced. After I pulled it off the wall I noticed an increase in soundstage depth. I suspect a sliding cover or curtains or removable panels or something would be an improvement in theory but cumbersome in practice.
I have a mic coming soon to take some baseline room measurements as the project goes forward. It’ll be interesting to see if mounting the new TV will show up on the measurements as well as my ears. I might just treat around it. I was on the fence about treatments before. Intellectually I knew an untreated room would make it more difficult to get my system to live up to its potential, but it’s still hard to pay $$$$ for a bunch of fabric and foam wall art. A little change in soundstage I wasn’t even looking for makes it easier to believe.
