Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers?

I'm having trouble thinking this through...my listening room has 3  sides with records 7 rows high... Concrete floor, but all  carpeted the speakers are 5' from the wall    Definitely not a lively room! I was thinking about putting a new 60 inch tv between and behind them...apparently the tv with base would be around 14" off the wall( I could bring the speakers out another 10" if 'necessary')
any guess how it might affect the sound and imaging etc???
THANKS!

I have a 55" plasma TV between my Maggie 1.5QR's - and slightly behind.  If you want to experiment, toss a blanket over the TV.

It sounds like you want to use the TV speakers as a center fill channel?

I've done it.  I ain't proud of it, mind ya' but I tried it...

BTW, Wendell at magnepan told me he likes Diffusers and they need to cover a lot of area...

Good - you don't have to worry

(except about whether the TV's speaker will add ot or mess up your sound...)

stick some over the tv and find out - if worth the trouble you can then wall mount them
