    I've been looking at these racks for awhile, love that there modular and you can get different spacing. Looks like you have the BL series which is the one I want, I prefer MDF boards over glass, only problem is theres no cable management. Wish VTI would add the cable management of the BLG series to this one.

    You can buy optional cable management hardware for the BL series. I would have to rotate the racks 90 degrees to install it. The backs of my racks are positioned against the TV. I rototed mine because of space limitations.
    Main System 2.2:
    Proton AA-1150 ~ Yamaha C-4 ~ Furman Elite-15 DMi ~ Sennheiser HD600 ~ Monitor Audio Silver RS8
    (2x) Martin Logan Dynamo ~ Marantz CD5003 ~ Squeezebox Classic ~ Music Hall dac25.2 ~ Sansui D-X111R
    Dual 1229/Acutex M312 III STR ~ Music Hall mmf-5.1/Goldring 1012GX ~ Music Hall Cruise Control 2.0
    Home Theater 5.2:
    Yamaha RX-V800 ~ Furman Elite-15 DMi ~ Polk RT55i ~ Polk Audio RT35i ~ CS400i ~ (2x) PSW450
    Winter Residence 2.1 (laptop system):
    Yamaha RX-485 ~ Squeezebox Classic ~ Topping D30 ~ EPI 200C ~ Dayton Audio SUB-1200

    A very good selection of Racks and Stands, both commercial built and self made. I have an old cabinet that I had made several years ago, I need to find something new also.

    Those are beautiful speakers. What do I know, at first blush I thought they were Vandersteens of maybe 2ce .I guess the logos on top which Vandys don't have should have clued me in better. Again they are very nice

    I know this is an old thread and I actually finished these quite sometime ago but I wanted to share the finished product. This website is a lot different than before and I'm not sure how to attach photos here.

    I found it easier to load your pics at a hosting site such as Photobucket, then attach here.

    A rack I built after this thread was started.

    I finished the shelves and now I am upgrading my Polk SDA SRS 2's as many of you have done and suggested. They will then be used in a completely different set up. The second picture is of the set up with my Acapella La Campanella,s and is still in a state of transition. Each of the shelves weighs over 70lbs and are 4 inches thick and solid wood. Each leg consists of 17 pieces of wood and the maple is harvested from my woods when I had it logged several years ago.30itx323f3ai.jpg

    from this to this.The open rack I found at the dumpster and added a few shelves. It became quite the dust collector so I ditched it for the black lacquer multi shelve that has enough clearance for my tt to operate w/ the cover open all the way.8uo5t6rgy7h9.jpg

    That is one HEALTHY rack, cool that the material came from your property. Appears to be housing some very nice gear! First set of lamps that I've seen that are larger than SDA's !!!

    Good job!

    Thanks for the comments. Yes, the SDA's are huge and I am anxious to upgrade them, especially the tweeters. The Acapellas are actually as large, much heavier but have a different footprint. They play very nicely with the McIntosh gear. I really wasn't looking for them in particular but came across a deal I couldn't refuse, and I'm very happy to have them.

    I'm thinking of building my own out of oak plywood. My wife wants a nice glass panel though to combat dust. I just don't see how a standard rack would look good, my room is flat black with antique wood highlights. How is a modern metal shiny rack not going to stick out like a sore thumb? I'm not sure what to do.
