I have a 53" TV inbetween my front speakers, and my friends really wonder how I get the kind of imaging I get (which is very good).
The key as stated above, is to push the TV back against the wall as far as possible and bring the speakers forward so they clear the TV. With this configuration, the TV can make a minimal impact on soundstage. Or at least the TV will make A LOT less impact on the soundstage than the speakers NOT clearing the TV (the TV anctually being in the same plane as the TV.
