Thank you, Wayne. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate your patience and willingness to explain.
Can you take a look at the attached photo?
I was planning to move the L/R behind the screen. I understand now I won't be gaining anything by doing this as far as the SQ is concerned. So the question is how much I'd lose. I'd prefer the behind the screen placement for safety reasons mostly.
If placed behind the screen, the speakers would still be slightly wider than the left/right-most seat in the room. There won't be directivity reinforcement from the sidewall any more, but I can see some benefit from the fact the speakers will be much closer to the back wall.
