Magnapan 1.6 and 65 inch tv

So what exactly is the problem with having a TV in between your speakers when listening to 2 channel audio? This may seem like a basic question but I'm curious... Can someone please explain the theory and sonic implications? Or point me to a link that does so...

Thanks.

Ozzy is a bit harsh in his response, but it is true that having the tv between the maggies (any speaker in fact) will negatively impact the sound. I don't watch movies, but have a big screen between my 2.7qr's (wife wanted it) and it the imaging is no where as good as it was without the big screen. The early reflections and blocking of the rear wave compromise the sound. That said, I would rather have my 2.7's than not have them so I live with the compromise (I would love to throw out the TV, but my wife freeks when I mention it, I don't watch TV).

Before buying any speaker, contact this guy he has the answers and knows how to word it without affending you.

What a waste of a good speaker. I really have to laugh when I look at the systems posted on the Gon with big ole honking TVs between the speakers. What a joke. Sure it's good for movies, but don't fool yourself into thinking you are hearing music the way it should be. Even if what you propose is an all out HT setup, it's still a waste of a good pair of Maggies.

Yes you can use the 1.6's with a 65" TV in between. Here's the "best" solution that I used... Build a false wall, so you can recess the TV into the wall hence creating a an equal space in between the speakers. Not only does it look great, but the sound is pretty darn good too. If you want to improve the sound further. Have a drape that you can pull across, covering the TV, could be motorized if you would like.

Audiojan, that was nice of you to offer a proactive suggestion as opposed to some of the other comments here. After all th love of audio is akin to the lov of your woman, an everyday evr changing experience.
