equipment rack along the back wall-Bad?


I have recently spent considerable monies buying a mix of room treatment devices from Michael Green, ASC, and RPG. After putting them up and tweaking them around, it just dawned on me that my 5 Shelf wood Michael Green rack sits smack dab in the left half of the "sweet spot:. I have a smaller 3 shelf rack on the right side of the same area.

My room is small, approx 9 ft wide and 16 ft deep, my speakers sit approx 6 ft into my room.

Question, does the presence of the huge racks along the back wall create a detrement to my soundstage? If so, to what degree? If, minor, I would keep the situation as is, however if significant, I would put the gear on the floor and lose the racks

My room is such that i just cannot move the racks somwhere else

thanks

Same for me as Twl, I've had it both ways and don't notice a signficant if any difference. My speakers are out front and my stand is a shorty. Amps are on the floor.
