Component Placement


I will have a preamp, two mono amps and a CD player/transporter. Where is the best place to put these and what should I set them upon? I have Magnepan 1.7i’s. Thank you for your consideration and reply.

Not between the speakers, the two mono amps on the floor only, if you value to hear and see the imaging and depth qualities of recordings that have them, if you do put all the gear to the sides or even behind you and have nothing between the speakers and as far back as possible.

If however you love to gaze at glitz of your equipment and the dollars it's cost you while listening to it, stick a mirror on the opposite wall, but don't ruin the image and depth if you value it by putting it on racking and components between the speakers.
