I had a similar idea about extra speakers in the room affecting the
sound of the speakers which are playing due to their own resonances.
I was more concerned about listening to speakers in a store where
there is a wall full of speakers.  I noticed that it is difficult
to identify which speaker on the wall is playing, and wondered
if the other speakers were contributing extra sound.

Anyway, I wrote a letter to Larry Klein of Stereo Review which was
published several months ago (I can't remember which month exactly).
He thought that the effects of other speakers were minimal compared
to other room effects, and that the lack of visual clues was responsible
for the difficulty in locating the active speakers.

I'm not entirely convinced, and I think tests would have to be done.
