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

I have my Audio Aero Captiole on the floor on an amp stand.Besides the fact it weighs almost 100 pounds,the air circulation is much better than if it were to sit in a rack. With it sitting in the open is dissapates heat much better.The down side,is it becomes more prone to dust.Time to buy an ionizer.
