Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad

This question came up in another current thread and I thought it would be more appropriate to start a new thread to address it. My rack is between my speakers. In the past I have tried it off to the side and didn't notice any sonic advantage. I have seen in in the past that there are some strong feelings on this subject, and I am interested in hearing what everyone has to say.

kenjit,

It's an old picture, and the room is now carpeted and the speakers moved closer in. It sounds really good. Anyway, I'm not complaining about my setup, just asking what others think about both options.

d2girls,

It is a PDS-95, and I love it.

Thanks for all of the interesting responses so far. I want to make clear though that I am not personally looking for a solution. I am happy with the way my system sounds as it is, but I have heard this subject referred to before and I just wanted the views of others about the plusses and minuses in their opinions and experiences.

elliottnewcombjr,

I wasn't looking to change the position of my rack, just to see the opinions of others on the subject of rack positioning in general. Just for fun though, I put a plush blanket over my rack while playing music, playing a track with and without it several times, and I couldn't really hear a difference.

I think the thread has gone a little off track.

Now I think that would really have an effect on the sound, with that large piano soundboard.
