Agree about rack off to the side. I have my amp on the floor between speaks, slightly behind them. Rack to the left, slightly behind them. 3m balanced IC pre to amp and 6 ft speaker cables. Excellent center image.
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?
