Any high end alternatives to Spectral av-furniture?

I am thinking of ordering a Spectral CLOSED CL1563 unit to house my equipment. http://www.spectral-moebel.de/ (There is an icon in the bottom left hand corner to select English).

The quality is very high, but so is the price at around £2,500!!!

So just just wondered if any one could suggest an alternative unit?

It must have covered fronts so the equipment is not on display, and have enough room to house a PS3, AMP, VCR, DVD Recorder, HTPC, Router, NAS and SKY HD.

Thanks
James

Hi Darren,

The size is probbaly about right, and it could hold all my equipment, but unfortunately it would not really go with the rest of my furniture.

Good luck with your sale.

James

Well it has taken a bit longer than expected but I have finally ordered the Spectral CL1563 tv cabinet from www.av4home.co.uk who were very helpful and put together a good deal for me.

I went with black fronts, cabinets and glass which should go well with my Pioneer plasma. Just 6 weeks to wait until the unit arrives.

Hi,

High end TV furniture is an area which is growing, as well as Spectral you can now get-

BDI TV Furniture
Jahnke TV Stands
Salamander TV Furniture

Hope this helps anyone who is looking at high end TV furniture.

Well 6 weeks became 14 weeks, but my Spectral cabinet finally arrived yesterday. Expensive and took for ever to arrive, but I'm very happy with the cabinet now I have all of my gear installed.

Here are a couple of photos:

Hi,

Yes Spectral have had a delay with sending out orders recently, according to the national sales manager normal service has now been resumed, I guess you were just very unlucky with your timing, the cabinet looks awesome though, it is a really smart set up you have.
