I have 2 mono amps, should I place the amps near each speaker, in favor to shorter speaker cables, or near the pre-amp, in favor to the shorter component cable but longer speaker cables???

What I mean is...please move the hardware and software sections to the top and the general discussion section to the bottom (way bottom.) I fear that anyone checking in to the forums for the first time may go to Rants and Raves first since it is at the top and be frightened away forever. I can't believe what has become of that forum with the language and taunts/insults. Can the forum order be changed to better reflect what most of us are really here for?

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

For those of us who have made the plunge into computer based audio here's a nice piece of good news. HDtracks is now exclusively offering a 24bit/96kHz flac encoded download of the multiple Grammy award winning recording "Raising Sand" by Alison Krauss & Robert Plant. Here's the link:
