1 Room 2 Systems

Greetings fellow Agoners.I'm getting ready to move into a small condo & am wondering how a big screen tv on a med.height, wide equipment cabinet would affect the sound of 2 channel listening.Basically I have a 5.1 sub/sat system with surround receiver & dvd player for movies/tv & an integrated amp,cd player, floorstanding speaker system for 2 channel listening & am going to set the sats/center on the equipment cabinet with the tv & the floorstanders out 3' to each side & about 30" out from the back wall.Any comments on how this set up will affect the sound while listening to 2 channel material.Thanks in advance for any comments.

I have 2 systems (2-channel and 5.1 HT) on my equipment rack and have a 42" plasma mounted on the wall above the lowboy equipment rack. It works great with the plasma because it gets the bulk of the TV back out of way of the speakers.

I have tried drapeing a heavy blanket over the plasma to cut down on the reflection off of the hard glass surface. I can hear a slight difference when I use the blanket. However it is not great enough to cause me to use the blanket all the time for 2-channel listening.

Enjoy,
