    I felt great customer service needed to be acknowledged. Once I found the speakers I really liked and how I wanted them powered, the Bello rack I had would no longer work for me. Per email, the fellow that was buying my Carvers said he would buy my Bello rack, so I needed one by the weekend. I ordered on a Wednesday and had it shipped two day service. Per VTI.... Orders placed before 2:00 PM Pacific standard time will be shipped out the same day if item (s) in stock. Racks and Stands called them and made it happen.



    Black posts/shelves with Gold caps to contrast the Oak floor.

    That is the one that I wanted to order Rich! with the gold caps and points but my wife, who is from South Philly, said that the gold would look "camari"! Not calamari (squid) "camari" (whory)! It's a South Philly thing . . . jeeeezzzz, so I had to go with the silver.

    Thanks Victor! Not a bad rack for the money. I got mine from Racks and Stands when it was on sale for $250. Couldn't beat the price on Ebay or Audiogon at that time.

    Saturday was a great audio day! Norm and I enjoyed you and your brother Greg's company. The Giordano's Deep Dish was great.

    I have owned a VTI BL 404 for a few years and for the money the VTI Racks are tough to beat.i am really happy with the welded modular construction because over time i bought an extra 9" shelf to allow clearance for a second monoblock Amp and another 7" shelf for a second digital source so now i have six shelves total. i bought mine with the black shelves and frames and the silver(nickel) caps and spikes. i also bought mine from Racks and Stands.com thanks....WCW III :)

    If the VTI is good enough for Waldecker.. it's certainly good enough for me!
