I just set up my new HT set-up and have run out of place in my TV stand to fit all components.
My question is can I put my receiver HK-AVR235 on top of my HSU VT3-MK2R? Or this is not recommended as the bass output might vibrate the HK receiver.
If this approach doesn’t work I will have to get a separate AV stand and am thus asking this question

I don't know that there's any hard and fast rule, but I think in general you'll get a longer life out of electronics if you're not vibrating and shaking them all the time. If, on the other hand, you're itching to have a new receiver..........
I know I wouldn't do it personally......

Mark,
Thanks for your opinion, I just got the HK so am looking to keep it for a while. I think I will go get a new AV stand to go with the TV stand.

I'm with Mark on this one. It might not matter, but shaking the bejeezus out of all those connections and wires and chips and stuff just doesn't seem right to me. I would find another way.

Hi Britrover,
I'm an engineer in the electronics industry, so I have some experience with the issue, the other guys are right. It would be a very bad idea, the vibration would almost certainly reduce the life of your receiver.

Also, not the worst thing to get yourself set up for a little expansion with a nice stand or rack for the receiver. Think ahead a little bit and try to imagine how you will be connecting things, where you will be "getting at" all of your connections/hiding the wires and, above all, how easy it will be to move the stand/rack when you need to (and you WILL need to ).
