Where should my equipment rack go?

hi all,

i am trying to figure out where to place my equipment rack. i really have two spots available. one is right behind my speakers in the center (speakers are about 6 feet from the rear wall), or all the way in the back of the room (about 20' long roon). obviously one requires long interconnects and the other is close to the speakers. does anyone have good advice??? thanks.

I place everything on small "amp-stands" on the floor between and behind the speakers and have had great results. Vibrapods take car of the vibrations. Cables are shortest and cheapest this way, too....

My vote is directly between the speakers against the front wall. This will assure the shortest possible distance for your speaker wire and interconnects. Put your money into the quality of cables, not their length. This position will also avoid bass resonance problems that accentuate in corners of rooms.

Any bass minima. I have mine along the side wall and run long interconnects to my tube monoblocs.
