Structural beam in middle of listening room

Hello,
Room is 13'X20' with a steel structural beam(covered with wood strips)11' from the short wall behind the speakers, Wilson Sophia 2 with Pass XA30.8 amp.
I am down to twp positions.
Either the speaker woofers 4' from the rear wall behind and 6' apart with the listening chair just in front of the column and 7' from the woofers, or the speakers 6' from the rear wall(per Cardas rec) and the listening chair 2' behind the column so I'm looking at the column. Aesthetics aside, would you expect any adverse sonic effects from the column in front of the listening position?
Thanks,
Joe

Download Room Eq Wizard freeware to your home computer. Generate some pink noise and take some measurements. Use built in computer mike for rough idea to start. That will give you an idea of what issues your room may or may not have as a start. You can then try to correct or maybe just improve  them as needed, measure again, and determine effectiveness.
