Amps on top?


I have read that an amp should not be on your top shelf, but rather on the bottom 

Is there anything to this?  Assuming a well-isolated system throughout.  
TIA

This high end  fellow I know has a huge old heavy very thick solid cherry bookcase cabinet modified for a large screen in center, four monoblocks in it at bottom center.  A pre pro, two Richard grey power centers there 220 volt. At the very top left and right hand corners about 7' off floor are two monoblocks German high end amps 220 volt I believe or two cords on each. Before this he had his arc 750's up there. Also a high end turntable was in there. His ancillary gear is in a rack on left of room.  No room treatments whatsoever. 18 by 18' 12' ceiling.  Two huge JL audio subs sit next to cabinet, two huge base towers and tweeter towers out front. He had 5 dacs, the best being  a Berkeley ref 3.  Damndest thing you ever seen.
