Wall mount rack options for all components

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have seen the Target Wall Rack (with no weight rating).
What other options are out there for a guy with squishy floors?

New Townhouse has laminate (pergo) flooring, which is apparently installed with a thin layer of foam underneath the flooring surface.

just moving in, and I heard this quiet "tinging" noise, and as I walked over to the stereo, I realized that it was my 6550s singing in unison as my footfalls reverberated across the floor. The amp was off, by the way.

No amount of weight seems to help, either. I remember a long-since gone thread about ceiling suspension, and it might just get to that point, but I need some sort of wall-mounted option for a 60 lb integrated amp, and of course, various sources.

thanks in advance for your assistance.

Joe

In regards to your need for shelves that are larger than the Target, I actually use a larger granite shelf on my top shelf of the VW2. It's pretty easy to do, just get some cones and you can put whatever size shelf you want on the Target. (You can see it in the picture of my turntable on my "system" page). The only thing to be careful of is to not put the bulk of the weight on the front overhang. But as long as the weight is primarily over the usual shelf space, I don't see a problem.

As I mentioned, I have a 60 lb. granite slab and a 48 lb. turntable on the top shelf, with no sag or problems with the weight. I did use 3.5 inch lag screws of the largest diameter that would fit through the mounting holes in the Target (not the stock screws that come with it) and made sure I mounted it securely in the center of the studs in the wall. It has worked flawlessly.

So, that's one idea for getting the shelf depth that you need.

not a bad idea, and something that I had not considered.
Thanks. Nice system, btw. :)
