As @knock1 mentioned, a quilt will help with the TV reflection. You can buy a 1" dowel rod and cut it to the width of your TV. Drape 5-6" over the dowel and tack or sew it. When you want to listen to music, slip the quilt covered dowel over the top edge of the TV so the quilt is covering the TV. When you want to watch TV, lift it out and drop it below. Works really well...
Asymmetric Room
I have a semi treated asymmetric room & am getting some hash/glare from certain artists. I performed a frequency sweep from Qobuz using “Audio Line-Up Test Tones (Calibration Reference Check)”. I am getting a wavering tone in the 1khz and 1.25khz range.
chatGPT made several recommendations… speaker toe in, seating placement, ceiling treatment & treatment of the pool table on the left side (open area of the room). I can’t change seating position (large L shaped couch) & toe in had no effect. I very much prefer not to treat the ceiling (but will if I have to).
My system & room layout is loaded. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

@steakster Listening within 1foot of the speakers revealed the room while it may not be helping, is not the cause of my problem as the distortion remained the same. Your recommendations are well founded. I did try covering my coffee table. Thanks @reubent @knock1 While not my current problem, will implement the dowel quilt solution. Thanks |
@OP While not necessarily the cause of your problem, you will get comb filtering from reflections from your sofa as well. So a throw on it will help as well. If you are hearing the problem within a foot of the speaker, check that it's not a resonance in the speaker itself - check that all the drive units are properly torqued. |
