I hesitate to ask, because I'd hate to start a battle, but why is it that so many people place their amps on a stand all by themselves in the middle of the room? Couldn't your B&K amp fit nicely on the rack with everything else? Or even it if didn't fit on the rack, start a new rack on the other side of the TV?

Personally it would drive me nuts to have the big thing sitting right in front of the TV. I know you're not alone in doing this. Nearly every "high end" setup I've ever seen has it this way. I can't fathom why it'd need to be all alone in the middle of the room.
