Then most probably its feedback coming through the feet of equipment, not air borne feedback. IMHO in such case you should try isolating the amplifier, not silencing the cover with damping materials.
I agree with microstrip , most likely speaker vibrations travelling through the floor to the amp stand ,what kind of floor is it underneath the carpet , is it a wooden floor or concrete underneath ?
I would try with the amps directly on the carpet /concrete of the rack but with spikes underneath and bring the rest of the equipment on the rack further down on the layers
If the vibration comes through the floor then that could explain that
Don't you have a picture with the whole system incl speakers /positioning ?
I use a Seismometer app for the iPad and there’d no danger of spilling the water into your components.
It’s pretty sensitive and easy to use.
Cheers
My glass with water doesnt spill , or wrinkle, an i phone app isnt very scientific to much unknown variables with that ,can go wrong afaic.

Sorry to say but if you have to take measures like that, there is something wrong somewhere, do all spectral amps have this Problem ?

Nice room system , i like avalons too
There might be some low freq energy built up in that area
Are you sure you have a thick concrete floor ?
I would place the whole rack on a thick stone slab, not on the carpet directly

Could be that the (low freq ) soundwaves bounce of of your sloped ceiling and built up exxcesively in that area. .
Moving the rack more to the side and maybe also the speakers to another position might add to the solution,; plus not using the lower part of the rack

Plus a good acoustician might help , some well placed bass traps might solve most of the problem
First time I ever see anything like this. I am going to rename this the Crazy Audiophile's Thread
