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 haven't noticed a difference. It's just as tricky and not forgiving...

But if you do have a chance though, since you are running monoblocks, make the speaker cable as short as possible to minimize any loss there.

Interesting.... I've had better luck with my Maggies on shorter cables and my monoblocks (Cary Six Pacs). Is there anything that you can attribute the longer length to? Perhaps any distortion caused by proximity of the amp to the speaker itself? Interested to know....
