Equipment Stand placement?


With so much focus on reducing vibration and other environmental detriments to good sound, I wonder where the best placement for the equipment rack in a listening room would be. It seems that with rear-ported speakers that are out from the back wall, that putting the equipment along the back wall between the speakers would be subjecting it to increased vibration. Putting it along a side wall puts it more in line with the first reflection point, and therefore more sound waves.

What are people's preferences for sound rack placment and why? -Kirk

What I did to improve this was to use 50 Hz and 100 Hz test tones + SPL to find the lowest response place close to my speakers.
Guess what? in my room it happened to be between my speakers
behind their plane about 1 ft. My equipment is in separate tweaked sand box(45lbs) /inner tube boxes 1 for preamp, 1 for digital source and 1 for the amp. Results very good. Height with each is less than 12 inches
Good luck.
