Monoblocks, Speaker Placement?

Hi, this may be a really stupid question, but with regards to soundstaging, or the sound in general, is speaker placement a lot "trickier" with monoblocks than with an integrated?

I don't want to start thinking that's it's the powercords....or power conditioning....

Thanks.

I agree with Tweak. I once had CJ P12 monoblocks and put them very close to Wilson Witt 2 with about 6 inches of Kimber 8TC. Horrible, resolution went up but very bright and edgy. With longer lengths it was excellent.

I suppose a better response would have been that my experience mirrors Tweaks. My one test is by no means definitive and it wouldn't suprise me that the opposite would be true in some cases. I did consider the vibration factor but had no way to test it. I suppose as always there are a lot of variables and few definitives in this hobby.
