I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH

Albert has his monitor on rollers & actually removes it from the listenng room altogether for serious 2 channel performance, then rolls it back into place for video. Realize that's not what you wanted to hear but there it is; the blanket method is better than nothing though.
Why not just try it with / without blanket/ vs. completely removed, & find out what happens?

Clueless i think the biggest drop in my IQ came
when i started getting intrested in good gear.
That took my IQ from a SOLID 20 to A QUESTIONABLE
10. Now i just sit a drool all day and listen
to music. Its getting worse too.

Some of you guys odviously didnt listen to Matt
Foleys speech on Pot. Classic Farley.. I admit
I have one of his movies. Beverly hills ninja.

Thanks for all responses. Especially Bob good to hear
from you. I will push the monster back some more and bring
speakers up. The thing weighs about 400lb if it wasnt for
the rollers it would be even worse. HD broadcast are
definetly impressive but Im thinking a HD Flat panel display
might fix problem. Im especially concerned when i upgrade
speakers from Infinity's. They are the IL's they have
C.M.M.D. drivers. I believe they are aluminum with ceramic
coating. Im running 4 floorstanders for mains and rears and
two centers for front center and back center. For price point i would give them a 10. For overall i would give them a 6-7. They are biwireable also... something you dont see to much on mid priced speakers. Im leaning toward Revel's for replacements. I had a lenghty audition with them and i really liked them. I have been trying to put together a six channel system that would do everything well (ok guys now laugh) I bought a Bel Canto EVO6 that is just amazing and once i get the Revels I will get another for Diff bridge mode. And I already have some pretty good
wires (analaysis plus oval 12's) biwired for all six speakers. So Im on my way.. One thing i am afraid of is my room and my TV screwin things up. I will probably call in
an expert for room treatment. I found one of the best
available is in my area.

Whatjd...

I am going to look into cable noise issue. I actually use three pwr conditioners.. TV, DVD, SAT, CABLE on one. All audio on another and one dedicated for sub. I have an UNWANTED buzz that i have always blamed on my PRE. I initially thought it was a ground loop problem
so i played with that for awhile couldent get rid of it.
I will investigate cable as culprit...

Thanks again to EVERYONE!

Actually, and truthfully, if you are doing the CORNER PLACMENT THING, you're dealing with alot of issues, not just TV INTERFERENCE! The interference with the TV will be a problem if your speakers are casting REFLECTION POINTS back to your ears from the speakers themselves! So, if the speakers are, say, out infront of your TV, and the sound reflects off your speakers, back to the tv, then back to your ears, then you're getting immage smearing and blurring!
If you're speakers are behind the edges of the TV, then you're getting more of the CUPPED-HANDS effect sonically! Also, you're getting VERY IMMEDIATE reflections off your side walls next to your speakers, that are mixing with the dirrect sound, which causes the same kinds of anomolies...not good. IN addition, the big tv DOES affect teh bass response samwhat in different frequency reigions, depending. (one way to figure this, if you cared, is to measure the bass response with and without the TV pressent!). Also, yes more, you'll not be getting the same frequency response from speaker to speaker in this set up, and you'll have different sound from each speaker accordingly!
Personally, I've never heard a corner placement set up work well, ever!!! I am more of an advocate of SYMETRICAL arrangements, as they tend to yeild a better foundation with which to work with..but you gotta do what you gotta do.
At any rate, the TV has an affect depending on a lot of variables in your set up.
If you MUST KNOW THE TRUTH, then I'd say you have at least 100% or more better sounic potential at your disposal with ANOTHER SET UP SCHEME!!! Placement of both speakers, seats, and acoustic treatment considerations, acounts for at least, AT LEAST, 60% of your over all sound! That's no understatment. And ANY GOOD PRO AUDIO REVIEWER worth his/her salt will tell you about the same!
good luck

61" Toshiba between my NHT 3.3's. Fortunately, my room is deep enough (23'), that I've moved the 33" deep 3.3's a few inches from the wall, moving the faces of the speakers almost 10" forward of the screen. Imaging is great, although at higher SPL's (95 dB+/-)the side-firing woofers tend to rattle the bezel and cabinet of the TV. I've got about a foot between the speakers and the TV. The logical evolution will be to justify the front projection system. With a 9' high wall and vaulted ceiling, I figure I can get away with a 10' screen. The room is 18' wide.

Spluta,

Fun thread. Hope this all helps. The problem with the power
conditioners...they still keep the ground, and that is where
the cable/digital signal has the DC voltage on it.

A buzz or hum is usually the first thing you notice, near the
speakers but not affected by volume. However the bigger
concern is more complete in what having DC introduced onto
the grounds of your system does to the overall sonic quality.

Also, some of the divices that are claimed to correct this
concern cannot...because digital TV uses the ground as part
of the signal.
