Just as a thought, have you considered trying one or both
speakers (series or parallel) on an open baffle to see what
they sound like? If you are not wanting bass then a piece of

No. If I do that I'll have to put a foot on the bottom. Perhaps
sides... Actually if I put a foot on the bottom then the speakers are
near the screen and effectively the TV is part of the baffle. Apart
from making sure it does not fall off the TV there are few reasons not
to try this.

Cheap adjustable hole saw has arrived. It it works it will pay for
itself in saved hassle in one use. However, if baffle is a min of a
foot wide one wavelength between front and back will be at over 400Hz,
so roll off will be quite high. I wonder if I can put the speakers in a
scrap piece and temporarily fix a larger sheet so I don't have to drill
my nice unsullied sheet of ply!

Speakers installed on an off-cut of kitchen worktop as an open baffle.
Surprised how well that works - could even here the low bits in 'LFO'!
I have a feeling a some sort of enclosure will make it more space friendly.
