  I put a 70" picture of a better hifi system between my speakers. It optimizes my listening experience, it's basically science.

  Most of us are wishing that the television between our speakers was the worst problem with our room.

  I am more concerned with the clutter between my headphones

  Seems to me like the best way to test the best position of speakers is with your eyes closed, not knowing exactly where they are.

  Of course the TV is in the middle, how else will we watch films in stereo ?

  In an ideal world we would all have a dedicated listening room, but we don't, we have an area that is generally smaller than we would like, and we have stuff, a partner, pets, crap that we bought on holiday that we thought would look good at home. Unless you're super rich, everything is a compromise, just learn to live with it.

  That may be true for music only rooms, but for a  media room where you watch movies with surround sound the TV has to be between the main speakers.  Few of us can afford a dedicated music room.

  I love the relaxed setting in these old videos.

  Makes sense, but no equipment between the speakers is just not practical in most real world settings.

  Paul, you are so honest!  hahaha.. In Hong Kong, our apartment is so small that we consider ourselves lucky to have a wall that is dedicated to listening.

  Thanks for answering my question Paul. I was asking because I am setting up my listening/home office room and I have the choice or either front wall/short cables or side wall/longer cables. Will go for side !
