Hard to find stand for amp depth

Has anyone succesfully found a stand which will accomodate a 429 depth amp with room for cables? Im finding it extremely hard and the amp is not the deepest there is.

I wish to have AV amp and DVD side by side so need around 930 width between legs and the usable shelf depth of around 450-460mm.

All ones i have found either dont give measurements with the legs incroaching on the shelf depth or if they do are around 400 depth.

I ideally want a 3 shelf so i can put av amp and dvd on bottom next to each other, center speaker on second shelf and my LCD 40" on the top.

Hope someone can help. Thanks
Dave

To be honest, when all the stuff is in place you hardly see the cables anyway.

Yeah suppose you're right.

One last question on the ebuyer stand sorry. Are the depth measurements of 45cm between the front and the leg ( i.e usable depth ) or does the rear leg encroach on the 45cm measurement.

Cheers

Partington Minim AV. £350 new (though more if buy from partington and co direct), but classy item and middle shelf is fully height adjustable in moments and requires no disassembly to do it.

Plenty of room for my large and deep amp and plent of room for cables and only the corner pillars are fluch with the wall, the actual glass sits about 5cm+ from where the pillars are situated if against a wall etc

http://www.partingtonandco.co.uk/minimav.html

and my prev setup (with Acoustic Energy Evos), stand was fully loaded before I took pics I'm afraid.

Cheers for that and thats the smaller one isnt it? Not the GT-5A?

Sorry to be a pain but im after the measurement from front to back. Like from front of glass to where the rear leg is on one side. AM trying to work out if my amp with speaker cable will fit in and to one side. I cant tell from the picture how much the leg rear leg comes into the glass and therefore encroaches on the 45cm depth measurement.

Cheers

I think so.

Mine is 100cms wide (longest point). Between the legs (front to back) is only 30cms. But the offset is quite big. As you can see in my pic http://www.avforums.com/forums/attac...6&d=1150909639
