In the "Get Better Sound" book which I've just read the highly regarded author (can't recall his name) makes the point that it is much more important to locate your rack on a side wall. The negative effect of putting your rack in between your speakers is much worse than a longer run of speaker cable. If you're serious about soundstaging and having your speakers disappear it is critical to locate nothing on the front wall between them.
Although it is an excellent goal I would bet that most people are like me and don't have such a dedicated space to pull that off. Great book overall.
