It is the single biggest killer of sound staging and depth perspective, it makes a hiend sound into midfi, because there's no artist to place and see with your eyes.Not really a deal breaker in a well disigned room and proper speaker placement. I have done it both ways and get great sound in either setup. Shorter cables make a bigger difference in my experience.
If you can't go to the side, maybe the behind you, or as I did in one place that allowed it, the next room.
An audio rack that really does make a difference.
Looking on spending up to $3000. on a rack for my system. I’m currently using a older Billy bags tri-point with cracked glass shelves. Would like to get a four post stand so it becomes more stable than the three post Billy Bags. Looking for something that will take it to the next level without taking my pocket book along with it. I’ve looked at Solid Tech and Adonis.
