This is a little different than the other rack thread, so I thought I'd start a new post.
First a little background. I already have a flexy rack, and am looking for something a little more "hi-tech" looking. It needs to have 6 shelves, or if it is of the stackable variety needs to be able to be made 6 shelves high. I will need a total or 8 shelves. The two which are not part of the big stack will be used as amp stands.
OK given that, here is what I have narrowed my choices down to. One of these plus some sort of separate amp stand:
Studio Tech PS 6
or two of these, one stack with six shelves, and one two shelves high for the amps:
VTI 404
I am open to other suggestions, but the total cost must be under $500 to my door. The rack(s) must have 4 posts and no cable management partition, or one that can be removed. It's been my experience that the 3 legged variety & most cable management systems just get in the way. Oh, and I'm not particularly fond of glass shelves.
I am leaning towards the pair of VTI racks because that will give me the most flexibility and all pieces will be matched where as if I go with the Studio Tech rack, the amp stand will not match exactly. However, with a little one on the way, I am concerned about the stability of the VTI rack. Can anyone with a stackable variety of rack comment on just how much flex the rack has?
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
