Armoire between speakers

I have a large armoire sitting between my 2 speakers. This requires I place my speakers about 9 feet apart, about 1' from the sides and rear walls. The sound is still good and so is the soundstage. How much improvement in sound and staging can I expect if move th armoire out of the room? Will it be dramitic or subtle? Thanks for your opinions.

To further my comments: Try what Theo said about the blanket and move the speakers up just so the front is in inch in front of the armoire. If you notice a big difference, then you know to lose the unit-it will only get better if gone at that point.

How far do you sit from the speakers? If you are 9 feet away or more, it should be ok.
They should always sound better out of a corner. Also, do you have the fronts of the speakers protruding out from the front of the armoire? That will help as well.
Last thought before losing the armoire-sound absorbing material on the sides of the armoire may help too?
