Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad

For anyone considering Machina Dynamica Springs for speakers and subwoofers I recommend using two 2x4s two to three feet long depending on size of speaker under each speaker with a Super Stiff Spring located at each end of the 2x4s. That allows a wide arrangement for the springs, necessary for stability with heavy high centervof gravity objects. For lightweight speakers use Baby Promethean Springs and two 2x4s.

OK, here’s one for you. If you have components or rack in between the speakers it’s not the end of the world. The most best thing to do is isolate the components, you know, since the potential for mechanical feedback from the speakers is quite high. The effect of acoustic waves on the components is less deleterious than floor-borne vibration.

Geez, the chances are actually pretty good you’re sitting smack dab in the middle of a standing wave anyway so what’s the difference? What’s needed is a system. What’s needed is mapping out the whole room with a SPL meter. Then at least you have a baseline. Don’t be a cube, rube. Go ape! 🦍 

There’s worse things you could do. Many of them I can’t talk about because of the you know, banning.
