Positioning full range electrostatic speakers

I’ve been using all forms of ESL’s (mostly Martin Logan) for over 40 years so am familiar with many of their characteristics. I have a question, though, that involves an issue I’ve not been faced with yet. Like many of us in this hobby mine is not a dedicated listening room so we’re dealing with a living room that we want to keep looking like a living room. Starting with a pair of ML CLS speakers already compromised that goal to a pretty significant extent but I’ve mostly kept the upstream equipment fairly well hidden in our entertainment console. The only pieces on top, mainly because of the heat issue, has been the amplifiers. Now the issue…..I recently took delivery of a new vacuum tube amplifier which Is HUGE and heavy at over 100 pounds and everyone in the house except for me, thinks it’s obnoxious and ugly so I’d like to get it out of sight somehow. I can’t put it on the floor because we have a dog that we’re attached to so the only place left would be on a small table behind one of the speakers. Because of the dipole nature of these speakers, or for any other reason, might this be an issue? For reasons of space issues a while ago, I temporarily stored a pair of stand speaker behind these panels and I wasn’t able to discern much, or any, difference in sound. Thanks for any comments.
