Not all parts within a component's housing are solidly shielded from each other and from other nearby components. This can results in signal interference and lower the sound quality. This inter-component spacing may subtly influence the soud quality for the better.

Amplifiers draw air from underneath their housing and exhaust it at the top, so don't obstruct their tops and bottoms.
