Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad

This question came up in another current thread and I thought it would be more appropriate to start a new thread to address it. My rack is between my speakers. In the past I have tried it off to the side and didn't notice any sonic advantage. I have seen in in the past that there are some strong feelings on this subject, and I am interested in hearing what everyone has to say.

Try throwing a blanket on top, covering the sides, and you'll know the answer.

I do find that the floor between and behind speakers is more important than most people realize, especially for high frequency grit. It is often useful to damp that. Cheap experimentation with blankets, curtains and pillows may help you decide.

Thanks for all of the interesting responses so far. I want to make clear though that I am not personally looking for a solution. I am happy with the way my system sounds as it is, but I have heard this subject referred to before and I just wanted the views of others about the plusses and minuses in their opinions and experiences.
