Putting your components inbetween your speakers.

All i have between my speakers which are B&W 800 Matrix are a preamp and 2 Krell BAFs bass alignment filters. 

Even if its just a preamp and bass alignment filters? 

I will have pics up soon on my virtual system. I spoke to audiogon and they are having problems with uploading pics on the virtual system. They are working on it and should be ok by Tuesday thay say. 

Update. I did wind up moving my 2 stands further back from where they were in the middle of the speakers and i swear i could hear better imaging from my B&W 800 matrix.. Maybe its in my mind maybe not. But i do like it !!! Thanks to you all.... 

When you are referring to gear are you referring to components or both a stand with components. Because i have right now in my system a stand with a Krell KPS20i and a Rega Saturn r cd player. Then next to that i have 1 speaker B&W 800 Matrix ,then a stand with a Mark Levinson 38s preamp with 2 Krell B&W BAFs (Bass Alignment filters, then a Krell FPB 600 amp on the floor next to that ,then the other B&W 800 matrix speaker. If i moved my stand with the Mark Levinson 38s and Krell BAFs on the other side of the B&W 800 matrix so both stands will be on each side of the speakers it would cost me thousands extra in interconnect cables to go from the cd players that are one one side of the speakers all the way to the other side of the other speaker to connect to my preamp.to have both stands on each side of the speakers for the imaging. Would this really be worth it? Would i really hear that much of a difference ? or any at all? Its not something i can just try out because i dont have long enough interconnects. And all my interconnects and speaker cable are Straightwire Crescendo. Not cheap. Like i said i dont have alot of components inbetween my speakers , Just a preamp and the BAFs on a stand with the amp sitting on the floor . 

otherwise i would of also took pics

So now there is NOTHING in the middle of the speakers. 

Hi Elizabeth , That is what i did with my rack, i moved it back from the speakers so that there is nothing between my speakers except my Krell FPB 600 that sits on the floor to the right of my right speaker but as far back as possible as shown in my photos . I cant move my speakers anymore forward as my room configuration., Im trying to do the best i can be with this awkward room.
