Quality audio rack for approx.$200? (1 Viewer)

[WilliamJay]

Help, I am trying to finda 4 or 5 shelf audio rack that does not break my piggy bank. I would like it to have open architecture and some sort of cable management system. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I like the Sanus AFA black stand: http://www.hififorless.com/acatalog/...YSTEMS_40.html
It has cable management and sells for $137 at the above site. You will pay $35 shipping, but that is still cheaper than what this stand normall sells for. It goes for $189.00 directly from Sanus.

William,

I have the BellO AT-484 component rack and love it. Very stylish, glass shelves that tier back, open all the way around, wire management inside the frame, and room for seven shelves.

I got mine at a local Tweeter for $249. That is the rack and four shelves. Extra shelves are $50 a pop.

Good Luck!

Peace,

DM

If you like the style of the flexy rack, but don't have the talent for DIY, I suggest you look into Salamander. A 5 shelf rack will run around $250. These racks come with very nice finished shelves.

Marty,
Where can you get the Salamander for $250?
Also, I went to www.hififorless.com and saw the sanus model for $137. It seems nice. However, is the similar StudioTech model as good or better than the Sanus? Would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Bill

William,

The studio tech doesn't have the cable management like the Sanus does. I like both of them.

William,
I don't know "exactly" what your requirements are for an
A/V Rack but for me (I looked at Sanus and some others)
I decided on a Bush Visions A/V Cabinent in Galaxy finish.
It's not real wood it's Veneered MDF and has 2 front glass
doors and storage in the pedastool and CD storage in the
front and Movie/DVD storage in the side. It works out for
me and you can add more shelves by purchasing more from
Bush.
You can see the Visions A/V Rack at http://www.bushfurniture.com

Where can you get the Salamander for $250?

That was the price for the Salamander Archetype model about 3 years ago. Have they gone up in price? Sorry for misleading you if the list price has gone up.

William, try the Vantage Point Euro from http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=VANEAW409B&product_name=Euro%20Modular%20Audio%20Rack
You can order it with 6.5" or 9" of space between shelves, and adding an extra shelf as your needs change is a snap.
Good luck!
Pete
