Location of compoments.
Hello,
I'm reading Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound". He notes that, if possible, do not locate your audio rack between the speakers, better off to one side. I would guess over 50% of audiophiles have their equipment exactly where he says it should not be placed. Needless to say, I would need 20' long speaker cables to reach the farthest speaker. Not very cost-effective or practical.
Any thoughts? Do most have their electronics between the speakers?
I have not had any electronics since 1972. OTOH, since my systems have been multichannel since around 1995, there is another (identical) speaker in the center between the left and right speakers. There is a power amp on the florr behind each one. The rest of the equipment is placed where is it most convenient for me to access it because cabling is cheap. |
In response to ozzy62's query:
Here is my corrected post: I have not had any electronics situated between my L/R speakers since 1972. OTOH, since my systems have been multichannel since around 1995, there is another (identical) speaker in the center between the left and right speakers. There is a power amp on the florr behind each one. The rest of the equipment is placed where is it most convenient for me to access it because cabling is cheap. |
