…Audio Rack that is!
I need suggestions for a decent looking and strong audio rack. The problem is that I have a big (read deep) Denon receiver and two 400 disc CD carousels. These CD players are about 23” deep so a rack with a backing board or a rear center spine won’t work. I could move one of the carousels into my wife’s home office system cause that’s where she listens to most of HER music, so the rack doesn’t need to be that tall. Open sides and back are preferred because the receiver and sub amp get mighty hot when watching DVD’s loud.
Color preference is all silver, but silver legs with black shelves would work too. Wife says “No glass or wood toned shelves!”. OK then…casters would be nice too since this stuff weighs a ton when it’s all in the same cabinet.

I started looking at www.racksandstands.com and if anybody has any good experiences with certain models or vendors then I’m all ears…and eyes. I’d like to keep the cost at or under 300 bones B/4 shipping.

Thanks…Norm

p.s….I’m replacing my entire storage system because we got a new TV (her idea) and now my wife sez that our present stuff looks outdated and ugly. I’ve been lurking for ideas at websites like www.avsforum.com but these people are insane about this kind of stuff. I just need some thoughts from real people.
