Like I said before, acoustic absorption between the speakers is not recommended. Only scattering devices, also called diffusers. Most speakers also need the reinforcement for bass from the backwall.
I have a system that achieves pinpoint imaging with a 65" screen between and behind the speakers. I can get this because of the 1/4 round tube-traps next to the screen, the ultra-low jitter of my sources and the fact that I have zero ground-loops in my system. No component is grounded to any other component, except through the AC power outlets.
