If you want to go all the way with HRS, meaning you get the *full* four shelf MXR rack *with* gloss black finish *plus* four 1921 M3 bases you can touch about 20K retail (but who pays retail anyway). But that's like complaining that MIT speaker cables cost 25K (Oracle MA). It's either ignorance or a decided slant to claim that HRS racks cost 20K to 30K (I guess we can just make up numbers now) when they have products for less money.
HRS (outside the MXR) has a modular approach to their products. You can buy as you go both with the SXR rack (which is modular) and the M3 bases as well as the new (and cheaper) S1 bases.
imo, you generally get what you pay for and top notch products don't typically come at bargain basement prices.
I can strongly recommend the racks made by Coherenz Audio, Singapore. These are OEM for MBL of Germany.Available in modular form with a variety of stainless steel column lengths ranging from 4" all the way to 12".The shelf is made of 1.5" thick diamond polished acrylic . The combination of stainless steel and acrylic is pretty stunning.Its not cheap approx USD 500 per shelf incl 3 stainless steel columns and pretty heavy.Each shelf + 3 legs is almost 20kg.You can check out pics of my system. Cheers
