Shouldn't really have much effect on the sound, however I would stand where the racks are during loud music with substantive bass and see if the bass waves are setting up a lot of vibes in your equipment, phono especially. Both the front and rear boundries of your room can be a haven for bass boost.
equipment rack along the back wall-Bad?
I have recently spent considerable monies buying a mix of room treatment devices from Michael Green, ASC, and RPG. After putting them up and tweaking them around, it just dawned on me that my 5 Shelf wood Michael Green rack sits smack dab in the left half of the "sweet spot:. I have a smaller 3 shelf rack on the right side of the same area.
My room is small, approx 9 ft wide and 16 ft deep, my speakers sit approx 6 ft into my room.
Question, does the presence of the huge racks along the back wall create a detrement to my soundstage? If so, to what degree? If, minor, I would keep the situation as is, however if significant, I would put the gear on the floor and lose the racks
My room is such that i just cannot move the racks somwhere else
thanks
