Can I put a 60" tv behind my Magnepan 3.7i speakers?

I'm having trouble thinking this through...my listening room has 3  sides with records 7 rows high... Concrete floor, but all  carpeted the speakers are 5' from the wall    Definitely not a lively room! I was thinking about putting a new 60 inch tv between and behind them...apparently the tv with base would be around 14" off the wall( I could bring the speakers out another 10" if 'necessary')
any guess how it might affect the sound and imaging etc???
THANKS!

^BTW, 60" might be a bit small for what I imagine the viewing distance to be.

I have a 73" DLP between and behind my Wisdom L75 speakers. I put a black bed quilt over the TV when I listen. That does the trick.

I have a large flat panel behind my stats but I have a TV Lift that goes up and down by remote.  For serious listening, I lower the TV and have RPG diffusers behind it.

Being as directional(aka: beamy) as they are, planar speakers aren’t as affected by things placed between channels as most. I’ve got two systems, both sporting Maggies. One with a flat-screen and the other with my equipment rack between the panels. Between their toe-in and diffusers(positioned where the rear, directly radiated, sound waves hit the wall), there is no interference with either system’s presentation.

Yes. I put my flat panel right between, and 20 inches behind, two pairs of big new quads. I wanted the plane of the screen to be near the plane of the speakers to synchronize sound and motion.
