Seems plausible. Consider the following. How many layers of acoustically transparent material could you add in front of a speaker before it made an audible difference. Maybe not two, but three? Four? When you start adding layers, you'll approach the realm of audibility.
Seems like prudent advice.
So, removing each of those layers is like lifting a veil?
Nick, I've got a question, just to be philosophical (I'm LESS likely to have a screen than even Tom):
By how much are you talking when you say that you can just EQ the highs (or use Audyssey, if you prefer). I'm wondering if, for example, the highs need to be increased by 3dB there isn't a substantially increased danger of blowing / burning out the tweeters?
Or, are you just talking a tiny bit of an increased treble level to compensate?
