Does having a LCD/LED television between speakers affect sound?

Electrically, it is unlikely to be a problem either, as all of todays necessary electronics will be magnetically shielded.

A little pedantic, but modern electronics are not magnetically shielded. The only magnetic shielding you may possibly find anywhere in equipment would be around a hard drive. Old CRTs were particulary vulnerable to magnetic fields, beam deflection was driven magnetically and the shadow mask could also become magnetised. You either ended up with a wonky picture, or purple coloured grass. LCD / Plasma are not impacted by this. Should you wish you can balance your LCD on top of your unshielded speaker with no ill effect.

Back in the day when I had a decent system that could reproduce a proper 3 dimensional soundstage, I found it made a substantial difference.

Highly subjective I guess.

I didn't word that particularly well. I meant to say all electronics would have shielding if necessary.

Yes. Get yourself a plasma TV to be safe

Remembering of course that they can buzz quite loudly. You may end up with one that doesn't at all.
