This pic over on /r/hometheater made me realize that Auralex or GIK cold make a killing selling TV-covering diffuser panels. Something relatively light weight that could be hung over the TV screen to manage reflections(sound).
I’ve been hanging a wool blanket over my TV screen for critical listening, and I imagine plenty of the folks on this sub do the same.
You’re 100% right. For their time, they were/are amazing. They needed plenty of power because of the eq, but they are special. I was shocked at how well they’d hit those low ~20hz notes.
I sold my 901’s years ago, but I sometime regret it.
