Thank you guys for your advice...
I use all banana plugs so no strands anywhere, but I will check nonetheless...
There are definitely temperature concerns though... The home theater is a separate enclosed room but with air conditioning. It does not get cold enough though and I need to check for clearance. I have at least 4" on the sides, but definitely not more than 1" or 2" maximum on the top. I purposely removed the back plate to the cabinet so air would circulate, but maybe I need to look for an open-air cabinet... Thanks again!
