Need a rack to fit specs!!

I need a very big rack with 5 shelves. The widths between each shelf should be:-

1 x 250mm, 1 x 170mm, 1x 180mm, 1 x 150mm or less


Can someone recommend one that will fit this size?

Hi, I'd like to help, but not sure what you mean by your measurements. Please clarify.

Thanks.

Dan.

Re: Need a rack to fit specs!!

Ahh. I see you've edited your original post.....

Do you need hifi width (about 60cm) or do you need AV width (about 110-120cm)?

What are you looking for too - Metal & Glass (probably quite easy to find one), or wooden or something else?

Dan.

Re: Need a rack to fit specs!!

I have a massive 5 channel power amp, a big processor, a large centre speaker, a dvd player and lastly a DLP tv to put on top. Not too bothered about whats its made from. it just needs to be good!

But the stand/rack needs to go upwards (so i can stack the components on top of each other) not sideways if you know what I mean.

Yes I think Hifi Width

Thanks

Thanks Knightshade.

Custom build usallly means very expensive to me. My budget is only £200.

Re: Need a rack to fit specs!!

OK, I doubt they'd build it for that....
Try http://www.apollohifi.co.uk/ they do modular stands for reasonable prices. I think about £60-£80 per shelf. They quite often come up on ebay so if you can find virtually what your looking for then just buy the taller supports.

Re: Need a rack to fit specs!!

have a look at

http://www.atacama-audio.co.uk/equipmentracks.htm

you order the shelves seperatly so can specify the sizes you want

I've gone for the Europa Reference 8 and am very very happy with it (see 40X too close to the fire ?)

Cheers

Michael
