I'm starting construction on my first HT this weekend. I like the idea of having a "clean" look on the screen wall. I'm on a budget and can't afford an acousticly transparent screen at this time so i had an idea to build my tower speakers into columns/cabinets next to the screen. The fronts of the columns would be hinged and i would have speaker fabric built around a framed door. These columns will meet up with my soffit.
Do you think this is a good idea? Will having the speakers inside a cabinet adversely affect the acoustics?
My speakers are an older set of polk RT800i

I've attached a sketchup of what i'm thinking, take a look.
