Armoire between speakers


I have a large armoire sitting between my 2 speakers. This requires I place my speakers about 9 feet apart, about 1' from the sides and rear walls. The sound is still good and so is the soundstage. How much improvement in sound and staging can I expect if move th armoire out of the room? Will it be dramitic or subtle? Thanks for your opinions.

I think some of these posters are part of a wider anti-furniture movement that will stop at nothing to strip us bare of armoirs and possibly hutches and cupboards!
Don't forget sideboards and secretaries. A dedicated room is the ultimate component as long as it has a couple of extra listening seats.
A true dedicated room has only one meaningful seat...that is the sad truth about our hobby...*sigh*...that said, I don't care as long as I'm in the seat.

IMO that depends on the type of speakers being used and how they are set up.
I suppose the listeners can be bunched together as long as they're close friends who bathe frequently.
