I have a piece of black velvet on top of my EP500 and VP160. They sit directly beneath my 118" screen and it works just fine to absorb any light bouncing off my screen. I've been using double-faced tape to hold the velvet in place for years and it's never damaged the finish when I need to remove it and put on a new piece of tape. As for my fronts, they are located on either side of the screen, but I've toed them in just enough so I don't see their sides that are facing the screen.
