Tube amp on the floor or on the rack?


I just bought a BAT VK-60 tube amp yesterday and now I
need to re-arrange my set-up. I don't trust putting
the amp on the floor, so can I put it on the top shelf
of my rack? Every tube amp on a dealers showroom is on
the floor. Any particular reason?
Thanks,
Dave

can your rack accomodate the vk-60 (~17"x24")? i've yet to find a non-custom "rack" large enough, although i have seen dedicated amp stands that worked well. also, the amp is pretty heavy for a top shelf. why are you opposed to having it on the floor?

another option: i have my vk-75 on the floor resting on BDR cones and pucks...allows adequate ventilation underneath and isolates the amp from vibrations.
