AV Furniture - Depth

I was looking at getting a Pass Labs solid state amp however they are about 3-4 inches longer in DEPTH coming in at 21.25" 

Most run of the AV cabinets are built for 18" or less in depth.    Other than a custom job, has anyone else come across this and found an affordable AV cabinet that runs over 22-24 inches (in depth) on the inside?"   I need a wood cabinet style preferably -verses the glass shelving with open backs.

I quickly searched for custom made audio furniture and found this link >>>

I am sure you can find other custom builders that can build the exact audio cabinet you need including the 24" depth plus additional space for cable, etc.  Search for custom cabinets for audio for a list of possibilities.

I sent him an inquiry message a few weeks ago and got no reply. Use caution with timbernation. I also read in one thread in the past that quality of his work was not always consistent. 
I suggest you might contact Mapleshade. But they are quite expensive.

Forgot one other thing: Heat.

Closed cabinets, even with ventilation holes, get really warm. Warm enough to make a mini-PC run iffy. If you are planning to put a class A amplifier in a cabinet, having an open construction will really help keep everything well ventilated.

Best,

Salamander Designs must be expensive but they do offer regular audio cabibers and custom designs.  

As Eric notes above, heat could be a problem so an open cabinet is suggested.
