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.

@ghdprentice     I am interested in your comment on the sound improvement using ultra-short speaker cables.  I have always understood the speakers like to 'see' a bit of resistance and capacitance.   I run Krell KRS200s that stand immediately behind the speakers whose connectors are low.  So I could turn the amps around and run on less than 1 foot of cable.

Should I?

Another benefit might be that I could afford to run the most expensive speaker cable in the world.  But would it make much difference is there's only a foot of it?

Do you know the physics of all this please?
