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.

Not really, most human serious acts are rationlizations of sub-conscious impulses.

The brain controls what you hear. The problem is that you don't actually control your brain. Case closed.

Lack of control goes a long way towards explaining audiophiles to the general public and to each other.

I've always read and heard that imaging and soundstaging is better especially if no TV is between the speaker and I guess I shouldn't worry about mounting my TV on the wall now...

Not so Wig, you mind knows pixels are the mortal enemy of serious music, good for rock though.

Nonoise, you tell it like it is .
