Removing components from between the speakers

I've read many of the previous threads on this question - longer IC's vs. longer speaker cables - but what I'm writing about is what I read in Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound" about removing ALL components and racks between the speakers and setting everything up side-stage, so to speak.

Has anyone done this? If I do, it'll necessitate longer speaker cables and a longer set of IC's from the tt to the amp.

Too bad the potential for a good thread is wasted by some. I don't blame the thread from going the direction it has though.

I think the OP had a valid question and some of us tried to answer him honestly. Just because someone can't or won't afford the highest of high end equipment and put them in a dedicated room doesn't take away the fact that they are an audiophile. Be real. I assume that one post was a joke...at least I hope it was, lol.

The humor exposes the absurdity of extreme positions. The point is of course you can achieve terrific sound with components placed between the speakers. You do have to account for some variables as others have pointed out. Experiment with your room/system and just listen.
