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 the equipment on the side and use monoblocks at the speakers. So the balanced interconnects are 20 feet long, and the speaker cables are about 24 inches long.

Clearly, doing what Smith recommends is more troublesome if using an integrated amp.
