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.

Thanks for the responses. My listening room is 13 x 19. I had the same thoughts about big bass sound waves if I moved it to the corner. Probably not a good idea. Sounds like moving the rack to a side wall won't be of much benefit either.

My speakers are about 5 feet from the back wall and my rack is well behind that between them. I also thought about splitting the single rack into two racks lowering the overall height to lessen any sonic impact but I like my TT on a higher rack. This may be my only reasonable tradeoff.
