Where's the best spot to put my audio stand


I did some searching here but could not find anything.

Currently my stand sits between my speakers but I find to awkward getting to the back to switch tubes, PC's, etc.

I notice that many users have their amps behind or between their speakers with the rest of their gear on a rack on the other side of the room. You obviously need a long IC. Other than convenience, are there other factors to consider in positioning your rack? I'm thinking about moving mine to a corner but am unsure if that's a sound move.

I have my racks on the back wall directly behind my listening chair, seems to sound fine. The only inconvience with this arrangement is I need to turn around to see the displays. My amps are by my speakers. Yes long interconnects.
I'm thinking of moving my racks to the left wall across from my listening position. My listening chair is about 6 feet from the rear wall, center of room. Will still need long interconnects but will solve the problem of having to turn around to see the displays. The rack will be out of the way of the first reflection points. My room is 17'-4" X 24'-8" X 8'-0".
I would think putting it in a corner might cause the room nodes to bother the equipment.
Give it a try and see what happens.
Enjoy the music.
