Will placing speakers behind drapes/curtains affect the sound.

(sorry for dumb question)

Yes. It will "soak up" the highs. If you go this route, use the thinnest material you can find, and expect to boost the treble somewhat to compensate.

Yes definitely it will affect the sound, I really wouldn't recommend it if you are serious about music and such.

Why don't you use acoustic speaker grille as your drap or cover that should not affect much?

 

[Tony Genovese]

If the drapes are acoustically transparent (sheers), it shouldn't have any effect on the sound. What about putting the TV behind drapes.

 

[Wayne Ernst]

If the speakers have to go behind curtains or drapes because the wife wants them hidden, then go with in-wall speakers.

OK, I get the point!
Thats what I figured.

Thanks for the info.
