How Important is Getting Your Rack Out

of Between Your Speakers?
Is getting a long cheap interconnect the way to go, is that better than keeping the rack in the middle

Thanks

It "looks" much better that way too, IMO, if that matters. I don't even have real expensive IC's to the amp, & I think my system sounds fantastic. And I know it's not about looks, but if you have a great looking expensive power amp, it's nice to "show it off" by placing it between the speakers. Oh, & whatever extra you spend on IC's to the amp, you can save by using shorter spkr. cables......
