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

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

A bedroom 'lift' would help get me out of bed...not so much 'up'....I can still manage That by self, thanks for not asking.... ;) *LOL*"

                      A good Carpenter lets no, "wood" go to waste, right?

                                                       KUDOS!

*G* Like the man said @rodman99999 .....

"Never waste an erection..."

...or something addressing or undressing that situation...

If concrete floored, lay some b&m; but mine is a leased space.

The landlord has liked us for nearly a decade, but Bob does have his limits... ;)

I push enough envelopes already, and as is said:

"Know what to kiss...and When."

Anyway....to dream, perhaps to sleep, ciao, J

" The companies that mount their output tubes on vertically-orientated circuit boards are apparently not concerned with that issue. I am."

                          Agreed, but: there are exceptions

                                                   ie:

   

       Designed to set up their own airflow, but: look like they could do a good job convection roasting one's Prime Rib, if, "on the bottom".  

 

Right @rodman99999, but those tubes are not mounted on circuit boards inside an amp enclosure, where the heat would flow past circuit components. The Wavestream V8 is one cool (no pun intended ;-) looking amplifier! So is the Atma-Sphere M60.
