Embarrassed....Audio furniture help
Well, I swore I'd never let a woman dictate my two channel system but here we are. Wife and I bought our first new home, I've got a small but adequate second living area for my system. Problem is, as mentioned, my wife. Setup will consist of CD player, AppleTV unit and integrated amp. May add a streamer at some point but we'll cross that bridge later. I'm using a pair of bookshelves and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Here's the rub....She is demanding an A/V credenza, so speakers sitting on the credenza on either side of the TV. Of course I'd love a vertical audio stand and be able to use speaker stands but it's too open, too many exposed cables, blah blah, you know the story.
Question of the day: can anyone point me in the right direction? I need minimum 18" depth and all the awful Crate and Barrel stuff she recommends isn't up to my audio standards. Needs something with doors for a clean look but I still need my IR signal to work. Because the speakers aren't going on stands, I'd like something at least 20" tall. A lot of the fashionable stuff is 14-16" tall, putting the tweeters way below ear level in the listening position.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Man shaking his head with a borderline resigned look

I had the same issue to deal with last week so 2 days ago I bought this unit. I checked out the non-corner unit at a local store and it was nice, very solid and a cool feature to avoid scratches on the top plate. It is 20 inches deep and has air flow holes what will work with a remote. I need to wait 4 weeks for deliver. I bought from a local store and not these guys. https://www.modernessentials.com/BDI-Corridor-8175-Home-Theater-Furniture |
The Amish do a great job with woodworking and offer a variety of solid wood designs such as solid cherry, quartersawn white oak, and more, plus your choice of stains and finishes. The furniture is usually very solid and well-built to support audio gear. The styles lean more toward traditional than modern but there are many options. Here is just one example of a company you could look at but if you do a search you will find many more. Most of it seems to come from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. |
