Got those with silver hardware, black shelves...

High gloss black...

Going to break up the stand into 3 sections, the top two racks for the amps - one on each side... the middle rack for the preamp and CDP...

Then the two shelves on the TV stand for the XBox and DVDP

Should look trippy

    Nice Trey. I purchased the identical one but with 4 legs. The rich cherrym black tubes and silver caps is a real nice effect. After filling the tubes with LS it is very solid.

    If I ever went for Monos I would by the amp stand as well. It actually is the smaller stand.

    Yeah

    I am going to use the 7" stands for my monos and the two bottom ones for the pre and CDP....

    My amps are so huge, the 7" stands will probally look better than the 3"

    Um, dude....what is the depth of that rack? Measure from the back of the support to the tip of the shelf in front. I'm thinking your mono's are not gonna fit. They may be 19" deep [didn't read the spec's], but if the monos are like my amp [with the PC that plugs in at the middle rear backplate], you won't have room for the PC unless you bend the **** out of a stock cord and have the front of the amp hanging off.

    Just checking before it's too late.

    All those cables are embarrasing.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Yeah, and if it's not too late, I'd like to add something else. I have the same rack. It's very nice for the price. However, if I had to do it over again, I'd get the four-legged version because I've nearly tipped over components on individual racks because the three legs don't support the back ends of the rack, so each rack tends to be unsteady towards the back due to uneven weight distribution.
    HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    I don't plan to have them to close to the wall so I will be good...

    Will look much better - indeed

    You should be fine with the stock cord slightly crammed, but don't ever plan on upgrading the PC. The stock PC takes at the very least 2" [crammed] to come out of the IEC socket and curve which puts you at 3/8" to play with.

    Im actually using an upgraded PC --

    Monster Powerline 300 - twice as thick as the stock one..

    But Im breaking up the rack...

    Will be kind of like this...


    Amp stand | preamp/CDP | amp stand (breaking the rack up into 3 section)

    And the TV stand will be behind the preamp/cdp

    But yeah, plan to have the amp stand stand like 30 or so inches from the back wall... which will give it 10" of clearance

    I am joking about the subwoofer as I sold my subs to get a new rack

    The TV stand arrived yesterday...

    Sounds 100 times better. Far more detailed and open.

    Bass response is pretty surreal.

    Bingo was his name-o...

    Only down side is I will have to order another amp stand, as I dont think one from that rack will work...
