Remove rack or console from between your speakers


Several people have suggested removing components from between the  speakers to add a reflecting surface. If I did this my speaker cables would be as long as 18feet.  Would this degrade the signal much?

Very beautiful audio system indeed millercarbon….I like the look and dont doubt the sound quality.... My best...
I am running 20 ft balanced and have my rack on the other end of the room from my speakers.However if your running 18 feet you should run balanced as this is much better for long runs.

mikelavigne and millercarbon:  I just looked at photos of both of your listening rooms and equipment and they blew me away!  Here I was agonizing over which small subs to buy, and your equipment and rooms look like you are preparing for a space launch!  I will never have anything like that and can only imagine what your systems are capable of.  Thanks for the photos that gave me a window on that world.  I salute you sirs!
