What do you recommend? I have my 2 channel gear and my a/v gear to consider. The beast is on top of the warped cabinet in the picture below. This piece came with the house and it is visibly bowed. The a/v stuff is a Yamaha receiver, Xbox and such. I was thinking 2 racks or a double rack. Looking for ideas. I would love the a/v stuff behind glass. Thank you in advance.

Salamander Synergy Triple. Their racks can be customized. How much money you got to spend?

That’s 1400 more than I want to put into this. Nice though!

Yeah, I think I paid half the current Salamander price for mine about 20 years ago. I’ve taken it apart and moved it half a dozen times and it still looks new.

Check your local Craig's list, Facebook Marketplace and thrift stores!
People are practically giving them away here. I in fact gave mine away.
Nobody ever called, even at 20.00. So I tried giving it away and about the 4th person who showed up "in person" took it and loves it.
There was one person who had "2" BIG glass " open shelved units for free. 2 of them.
Anyway, there's been a lot of entertainment cabinets for cheap the past year. A LOT.
Good luck.
Search "TV stand".
Not bad for 45.00 vvv

I don’t know what kind of esthetics your after, but for a low price very solid stand,I can highly recommend the Monoprice ,Monolith 4 Tier Audio Stand XL. I purchased 2. I had some specific wants. I wanted more than one shelf height at approximately 9” I also wanted taller bottom legs, I also had an idea about vibration isolation for my TT. With the unused shelves and hardware,I was also able to have 3 amp stands,which are all be used. Here are some pics that I posted previously in another thread.
See my profile for list of gear. -
