An audio rack that really does make a difference.

George, please, you must be referring to home theater. This is a 2 channel thread.

What are you talking about, if you have no constructive advise, don’t be a putz.🥴

Your right George. Your always right. Except when you spell advice incorrectly.

Does a Audio Rack make a difference ? I does from the dealer who sold it to ya! Its called a nice profit . If you have too put it together , Mozol Toff . In other words good luck . I bought the Billy Boggs shelves , very well made and they come together  in one piece . Take the plastic off and your done.

However, everyone can ameliorate the effects of a rack between the speakers by positioning the speakers baffle a ways ahead of the rack.

@nonoise, You nailed it! With this setup you absolutely don't miss the imaging or other effects. At some point I tried to place the equipment on the floor with shelves and footers. But the affect was same as having the rack in the middle, but way in the back. If anything, it diffuses the sound and broadens the sound stage - but only if the rack is at least 3 feet behind the plane of the speaker face.

And even more so the depth if it's not there at all.
