Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad

This question came up in another current thread and I thought it would be more appropriate to start a new thread to address it. My rack is between my speakers. In the past I have tried it off to the side and didn't notice any sonic advantage. I have seen in in the past that there are some strong feelings on this subject, and I am interested in hearing what everyone has to say.

Floorstanding GIK panels can also be useful in these circumstances.

I got a pair of GIK Freestand panels (gobos). Experimenting with positioning was interesting.  Least effective was the pair of them standing directly in front of the screen and blocking it.  Much better was having them right beside the screen, each side, touching and perpendicular to the wall behind (the front wall).  Evidently, if your screen isn't wall-mounted, reflections can get behind it too as well as bouncing off the front of it.  Best was them sitting half way between the back inner corner of the speakers and the front corners of the stand, at about 45 degrees to everything else.
