Having the speakers in the middle of nowhere is the best way to obtain a 3-D soundstage. The important fact to remember is ventilation. Do you have tubes, class-A amplifiers, etc. Then you may want to position the rack a bit off the back wall to get a little air back there.
equipment rack along the back wall-Bad?
I have recently spent considerable monies buying a mix of room treatment devices from Michael Green, ASC, and RPG. After putting them up and tweaking them around, it just dawned on me that my 5 Shelf wood Michael Green rack sits smack dab in the left half of the "sweet spot:. I have a smaller 3 shelf rack on the right side of the same area.
My room is small, approx 9 ft wide and 16 ft deep, my speakers sit approx 6 ft into my room.
Question, does the presence of the huge racks along the back wall create a detrement to my soundstage? If so, to what degree? If, minor, I would keep the situation as is, however if significant, I would put the gear on the floor and lose the racks
My room is such that i just cannot move the racks somwhere else
thanks
