I use the Solid Steel S3 series of audio racks. It holds my 123 pound McIntosh power amp with no problems. I believe each shelf holds either 125 or 150 pounds each and depending on the number of shelves the price tops out at $999.99. I purchased mine from MD.

I am looking to purchase a reasonably priced audio rack that can handle heavy components. @referee1 , you do not mention what your "reasonable price" is, nor do you specify the weight. In any case, I have my 60lb Parasound A21 in a Salamander Audio Archetype 5 rack. I have no idea what happened recently, but I purchased this in Walnut for $225, and I am seeing it for $799!! The black one is for $449 though. |
100 lbs is nothing. my amp weighs 300 lbs. I have it on the top of a rack I designed myself of welded 1"x1" x1/8" tube steel. 6.5’ span with zero sag. I will give you an idea. I laid out my equipment and measured how long and high each shelf needs to be. I had it welded up at a local weld shop for $300. I included a 1/4x1/4" steel bar on the inside bottom of each tube to hold the shelves. Instead of solid shelves, I cut 20 1" x 3" boards and stained them ebony. I spray painted the rack black. I velcro’s foamboard on the back of the rack and cut holes for each cable behind each component so all the cables are hidden. The rack pretty much disappears around my equipment. anyway, cost effective way to make a nice looking custom rack that will hold anything you want. Jerry |
