I'm deliberately not asking for an AV cabinet or similar because that seems to add about a grand to the price.
I basically just want something to contain my Marantz SR7012, which is 17.3" x 16.2" x 7.3 (44cm x 42cm x 19cm). If it could also hold the BluRay player and a Nintendo Switch that'd be handy but it's not mandatory. Narrow, not much wider than the amp, rather than wide.
Glass door so I can see the display and use the remote but still keep everything safe from the kids. Could be an entirely open back, just need to get cables out and have some ventilation.
I don't mind chipboard as long as the finish is decent. Black to go with the decor and my soul.
I've found very few units that would work and I think the cheapest was £650. I know I've spent a fair bit on my system but paying £650 for a wooden box with a glass door kinda sticks in the throat.
Obviously if there's a cabinet made of sapphire-impregnated granite incorporating leylines and meteorite dust that guarantees vague improvements couched in meaningless terms then take my money now, but failing that are there any options that are closer in price to the intrinsic value of a box?
I think I'm in an odd mood today...
