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.

Millercarbon, what planet are you living on? Here on earth when dealing with very low impedance devices like loudspeakers you want a cable that has as low series and parallel resistance as is possible which means as short as possible. Since I make my own cables I don't have to worry about price much. Canare D206 can run in lengths up to 300 feet without a significant drop in bandwidth. Since all my cables are either digital or balance analog with the exception of my phono cables and speaker cables, I have perfectly performing cables at an extremely reasonable price. I could even put them in a fancy sheath, make up some marketing BS and sell them to people like you for $6000.00. But since I am stupid I make them for my friends usually as gifts. I buy the stuff in big rolls so I have all this wire hanging around.  
Dear @caphill  : Certainly I'm not the indicated person to answer what you ask to Mike but in the window where you seen the speakers along all his system is all the information you need.

Yes, powered bass towers.


Btw, you own too really good system. Congratulations,

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Oh and yyzsantabarbera, Benchmark meets the AES standard so you are in great shape. Get another AHB2, strap them and put them behind your speakers. I promise you will love that. Thanx for the recognition:)

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I didn't see that earlier. 
Yes, we all shall enjoy the music, not distortions. I like that :)



I swapped out my metal turntable stand for 4 concrete blocks and the difference is a considerable upgrade. See systems pic.
