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.

                                          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?

(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....?

                        Into swings, are we?

Law of science.

Heavier items at bottom, lighter ones higher up, duh. This discussion makes me feel stupid...
