Experiment with your roo... | |

Depending on the size of the rack used, number/placement of components and proximity to the speakers. These variables can range from noticeable to minimal... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers Ctsooner I agree it actually depends on the individual system and setup. Roxy54 my own experiences concur with yours. Some of the very best systems I've heard have followed either method, "it just depends" always seems to be the right answer. Char... | |
