Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

My better HiFi is in my man cave (although I'm not sure it would be up to the requirements of @rocker), but in our living room we have a basic mini system from Richer Sounds for £299. The main unit is Denon. Can't remember what the speakers are.
That basic system kills the soundbar my brother in law has. it's not even close - and it's not a cheap soundbar.
you need 7 inches gap, then you can lie your speakers on their side underneath it, along with a new centre speaker:

or this

If that's not attractive, then wait until you are getting the new TV (no rush), then build your solution around the larger TV:
Options are to lose the unit (which you can't), or replace the speakers with taller units (since you don't like stands)
something like these:

How tall is that gap where you currently have your mini-fi? Could you move that to the right, and fit a real centre speaker in there. That would be a massive improvement

I had 15 dual concentric tannoys that could run on 12w per channel to fill a room
I have a pair of B&W 603 S2s myself

I bought a used pair a few years ago to use with my TV, they are very good, and with the used prices now are excellent
Nobody mentioned that I have an amp and guitar in the pic though! There's actually three guitars next to the tv unit, it's still my house after all
@Nikc you are on the right track there, the widths on some of the 40" and 43" edgeless TVs would fit between the speakers easier than I thought they would so looks like not quite the problem I envisaged.
I give her a lot of money, and I take a lot of shit

I'm currently researching a new AV set up. Giddy kipper central.
The answer is NO! I'm definitely keeping the Tannoys.
