    Haha, you guys are funny!

    That's awesome BlueFox. Gorgeous. Either you don't have kids or you have a dedicated listening room with a lock on the door :wink:

    What really appeals to me about Darque's rack is the doors to keep the little one out (who will be walking in a few weeks). I hope he would chime in and let me know where he found his :smile:

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Now thats what I am talking about! Is that a Salamander and if so what was its cost? Wife wants one just like that for our HT system...

    A friend in Scottsdale has a similar rack, but with wider center section; he put the center speaker in the top middle drawer & put acoustic fabric across the opening; pretty sweet:

    This is one of the most awesome rack's I've seen:

    Its a Salamander Designs Synergy rack. They are awesome racks but do cost a bit. You can change different things out on them or get extra parts and stack them or do whatever you would like with them really.

    They can be found at best buy and other audio stores. They are expensive but if you can swing it can be worth the cost.

    I'm definitely not worthy! Goodness gracious.

    Thanks for the link to those Salamander Designs TV stands. Very pricey but that's exactly what I'm looking for. Most of their models have doors which is a must as my daughter is miss curious.

    Very Nice!!!

    How much is that rack? $4K?/QUOTE]

    No, maybe around 3K with the extra shelf and rosewood stain. The problem is everytime I save up the coin, something else come along. :rolleyes:

    Now, Shunyata has released speaker cables they are claiming are better than those costing up to 20x more. So, I am ordering a pair tomorrow.
