I have a similar setup; my room is 21 feet by 13 feet and I have the speakers on the short wall about 6 feet out into the room. I also run long interconnects from the preamp, which sits near my listening chair, to the power amp, which sits in between the speakers. This has been working quite well for me.
The long / Narrow room - system configuration
I have always and still do have a longish (23.5 feet) and narrow (12.4 feet) listening room. I have always put my speakers on the short wall with my monoblocks and run a 25 foot long (rca) interconnect in between my amps and my other components which sit away on the long wall down by where I sit to listen. Have most chosen to give up on this type of configuration in order to go with much shorter IC. I would have to move all my FE components which sit on a fairly massive Rix Rax Hoodoo and move them all ( including turntable)
in between my speakers. In most of all your experiences, would what I gain in shortening that 25 foot cable be worth it if I then negatively affect my soundstage with a big ol rack full of my FE components between my speakers.
