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.

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.

I think the thread has gone a little off track.

OK, here’s one for you. If you have components or rack in between the speakers it’s not the end of the world. The most best thing to do is isolate the components, you know, since the potential for mechanical feedback from the speakers is quite high. The effect of acoustic waves on the components is less deleterious than floor-borne vibration.
