Dipole Asymmetry

I am considering purchase of a pair of Martin Logan Summit X speakers. In my room, I am somewhat constrained for speaker placement. I could place the speakers about 3-4 feet off the front wall. My main concern is my audio rack would be placed directly behind the left speaker, while there would be nothing placed behind the right speaker. How detrimental would this asymmetry be on sound quality?

And why, I think, I will shy away from the dipoles. My B&W speakers attempt to dampen rearward energy. And they do sound great in my room and setup.

My room and curent setup are as follows:
13' x 38' x 8.5'H. Rear half of the room is a pool table area. Front half is the stereo
side. Speakers are placed about 3' from the front wall to the rear of the speakers. Speakers are 7.5' apart. 9 ft speakers to listening chair. Audio stand directly behind the left channel speaker. 60 in flat screen TV on the front wall. Amps are Ayre MX-R Twenties.

Thanks! It's a decent man cave. All I need is a stripper pole. Lol
