THANKS! for all the great responses...
after some more consideration, (and the mention that 60" would be Too small for the room),and just not wanting anymore variables,
I just decided to put the tv in another room and I'll put together a diff system for tv only later on...time to learn about surround sound! |
i have a 60" flat screen at eye level height when i am in listening position flat against the rear wall with my pair of MG 3.7i visually directly at the edges of the screen and the combination works exemplary in my humble opinion. |
stick some over the tv and find out - if worth the trouble you can then wall mount them
I can't fit GiK diffusors in front of the TV on the stand, nor can I wall mount over 3/4 of the TV because it's partially in front of a window. Do you know of any other really thin diffusors? |
That speaker is so good, you should do everything you can to get the most from them
|

Yeah I'm wondering how much of a difference diffusors would make in place of my TV. I already have four (two on each side) though. |
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...) |
So I just threw a blanket over my TV to see if it made a difference and didn't really notice any change. |
ebm, if that comment was directed at me, I can say that a little experimentation and a little research are the keys. I have good imaging and depth, and a far better movie experience than any theatre short of IMAX. |
I have a 65" TV behind my Magnepan 3.7i's, but it's almost 9' behind them. It probably negatively affects the sound to some degree, but sometimes you have to compromise. |
My speakers are directional but when I placed a 4" bass trap over the TV it calmed down the image. Check my system on virtual systems for a look. |
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... |
Great way to kill imaging and depth but thats up to you.Good luck. |
Yes. I put my flat panel right between, and 20 inches behind, two pairs of big new quads. I wanted the plane of the screen to be near the plane of the speakers to synchronize sound and motion.

Being as directional(aka: beamy) as they are, planar speakers aren’t as affected by things placed between channels as most. I’ve got two systems, both sporting Maggies. One with a flat-screen and the other with my equipment rack between the panels. Between their toe-in and diffusers(positioned where the rear, directly radiated, sound waves hit the wall), there is no interference with either system’s presentation. |
I have a large flat panel behind my stats but I have a TV Lift that goes up and down by remote. For serious listening, I lower the TV and have RPG diffusers behind it. |
I have a 73" DLP between and behind my Wisdom L75 speakers. I put a black bed quilt over the TV when I listen. That does the trick. |
^BTW, 60" might be a bit small for what I imagine the viewing distance to be.
|
Sure sure you can. If you're concerned about sound reflecting off the screen; you might consider a bracket extended in both depth and width to accommodate a pair of heavy curtains that can be drawn to the sides past the TV. Could look quite dramatic, in a good way.
