Hopefully your rack does not have a TT on it, for if it does the location is the worse place to be. The amount of acoustic energy that it receives will destroy its ability to play properly. Go with long speaker cables as it is more cost effective and will not degrade the sound quality.
where to place equipment rack?
my room is a standard rectangle(14x19) with the speakers on the short wall facing the listening chair about 10 ft back.My rack is behind me in the corner about as far away from the speakers as possible-since I've read this is for the best.But this requires 20ft+ speaker cables. Would I do better to place the rack in the front corner,just behind the plane of the speakers and shorten the cables?Any thoughts....
