Amps on top?


I have read that an amp should not be on your top shelf, but rather on the bottom 

Is there anything to this?  Assuming a well-isolated system throughout.  
TIA

Solved this issue long ago, even tho' a SS kinda guy....

'Puter fans....Quiet, turns on with the amp.  No electrical racket noticed, low power draw.  Use it on the stand-alone units, anything I want to remain cool under pressure.....

For you 'tube types', a means of making use of that heat when winter returns...unless global warming makes that whole issue moot... ;)

(Keeps the dust out, too...*G*)

(( ....that, and the 'current crop' .... "To pun....or not to pun....isn't a question...😏..." even has the ability to give y'all a 'light show' in the comfy Barcalounger of your 'phile foxhole....))

Ludwig w/Lights!  Yow, so 21st Cen.....*L*

@rodman99999 ...mine is 2 slabs of cast-off 1.5" stone of indeterminate nature with a beefy pine frame....takes 2 to move empty...

With the pile on it?  Oh, ferget 'bout it...can't bring the Bobcat in here anymore... ;)

@asvjerry

                                          Forget that Bobcat!

                                  
        Order one of these*, sized to the corners of your room/ceiling and add a chain fall.                           

                        Moving those stands and amps will be a snap!

          With a pair of chain falls, the amps could REALLY be moved, "on top",

        Wrap the legs with the right materials and they'll do double duty as corner Bass traps.

                                 Now: THAT'S a system upgrade!

@ghdprentice     I am interested in your comment on the sound improvement using ultra-short speaker cables.  I have always understood the speakers like to 'see' a bit of resistance and capacitance.   I run Krell KRS200s that stand immediately behind the speakers whose connectors are low.  So I could turn the amps around and run on less than 1 foot of cable.

Should I?

Another benefit might be that I could afford to run the most expensive speaker cable in the world.  But would it make much difference is there's only a foot of it?

Do you know the physics of all this please?

....I need one of those in the bedroom...

(Stop that....nasty boy....)

...to drag my butt out of bed....spouse would 'preciate it.... ;)

Thinkin' 'bout going total class D....50,000 watts of funky....

A planar co. once admitted they piled up a tower of their ribbons in the desert and turned it to 11....

Was heard clearly .5 mi. away.

Bass?  Not likely, but was on the edge of an ordinance test range, so maybe the military filled in for the subs...

The locals would demand my head on a spit for the bbq...but one only fries once...

Good Morning, Starshine!

ok....where went the lights....?
