I have A/B tested a tv between my speakers and then nothing between them. Honestly it is really hard to hear the difference. Just try it for yourself and see. I personally hang a projector screen between mine about 3’ off the rear wall (pictured in my system). I have tested it both up and down and I can’t hear it at all.
Flat Screen Television behind speakers
I have a large 75” flat screen TV in my living room and want to know how bad this can affect the sound. The speakers have to go right against wall pretty much and the TV is in between the speakers. I have large acoustic panels right behind the speakers and then 2 subs on the outside of each speaker which also have acoustic panels behind them. Question is should I move the speakers to the outside further away from the the TV and swap the subs inward closer to the TV- or would the bass reflection from the subs be even worse? The television is mounted higher on the wall so maybe the subs are better positioned on the floor?
