Audio Rack with Positive "waf"

I am looking for a rack to house my two channel audio system. In addition, I need a stand for my TV (32") and DVD player.

Most racks I have looked at do not get the approval of my wife. Complaints mostly about "too much chrome and glass"

We have looked at the Salamander pieces but she is not all that crazy about that stuff either! My budjet is $1000.

Thanks in advance for the HELP !!

All hail Ricks Racks, I feel they are by a large margin the best looking racks in audio- I don't have one, but if I did use a rack it would be a Ricks Rack.

What are people's feelings about materials. Is all wood OK, if it's a high density wood? I've got a Berning ZH270 and it should be kept away from steel or iron. That leaves wood, aluminum, glass. Any feedback on using these materials? I know there are racks out there that do.

Give Sanus a shot. I'll bet she likes their maple/glass products. Understated and classy.

I would vote strongly with a cabinet maker. I had a fabulous rack built by a local firm that specializes in audiovisual work and whose owner is an audiophile/music lover. My wife and I gave a rough design and they smoothed it out. The end product is gorgeous, superb sonically and extremely well priced. If you wife helps in the design, she will be much more likely to find it acceptable. I'd be happy to discuss it with you if you have any questions.
