In my opinion,from my experience, if you’re going to have a rack in the center, pull the speakers well out in front of the rack. I have a much smaller room,with rack in the center. I have achieved a wonderful soundstage. Can it be better? I think there is always room for improvement.
If your wife has an issue with leaving the speakers out,move them back when not doing any critical listening. Enjoy the journey.
