Is there a WAF that needs to be considered?
I personally would prefer to have a stand alone rack for equipment and the center on its own stand. Isolation being the key here.
What are all of the components that will be housed in the rack(s)?
I'm thinking the following setup would look nice:
Left Front Speaker <--> Left 2 or 3-shelf rack <--> Center channel stand <--> Right 2 or 3-shelf stand (matches left rack) <--> Right Front Speaker.
