OK, what you really want to do (not) is to put a black box between the 950 and the 7100. What this black box will do is sample signals from each channel, and with the appropriate adjustable delay on each channel to account for sound travel from one wall to the other, insert an inverted, low level signal in the opposing speakers' channels such that the reflected sound will be accompanied by a matching negative image of itself as it travels toward the listener, effectively canceling out all horizontally reflected sound.

Is there a 'smiley' that indicates "tongue-in-cheek?"

Don't laugh too hard. There is some high-dollar equipment out there that uses a similar sound canceling practice for other reasons.

This must be an interesting situation, to have absolutely "no way" to do any acoustical treatment whatsoever. I wish you the best.
