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?

+1 light blanket or even try a sheet.  Too much absorption could suck the life out of the music.  Not sure why you have the speakers close to the wall as that’s not doing you any favors either — your speakers need some room to breathe.

You can try these sliders from Herbie’s that’d allow you to easily slide your speakers out from the wall for serious listening and push them back after.  They also are reported to have sonic benefits so might be a win win.  Just a thought.

Here’s another idea: a curved piece of clear plexiglass in front of the TV

Soooo, a contact lens for the TV?  Pretty sure my wife would prefer using a sheet.  Very creative and interesting thought though!
