Vinyl(the other kind)

Thanks fellas, about same thing I've found , just tried of nearfield listening .

Yes, but not much

I asked ASC this same question recently 

you might also put a fake ficus bush/tree behind your speakers

Actually they made a huge difference in my room. Without any blinds it was truly horrible, no focus, no snap, bass was booming. Three quarter shut angled up truly worked wonders.
Does not help having a tiled floor either but large rugs and 3 large squishy sofas helped there as well

I have exactly that behind my Ohm F5s.

Very practical.  Definitely makes a difference in my case and very adjustable. YMMV case by case.
