An audio rack that really does make a difference.

Looking on spending up to $3000. on a rack for my system. I’m currently using a older Billy bags tri-point with cracked glass shelves. Would like to get a four post stand so it becomes more stable than the three post Billy Bags. Looking for something that will take it to the next level without taking my pocket book along with it. I’ve looked at Solid Tech and Adonis. 
Thanks Mike

Not everyone has the luxury having a space big enough to position gear off to the side. However, everyone can ameliorate the effects of a rack between the speakers by positioning the speakers baffle a ways ahead of the rack.

An even bigger gain can be had by mounting the TV on the wall placing it well behind the speakers. That move gave me the greatest improvement in sound stage presentation. 

All the best,

I've had Timbernation audio racks and speaker stands and they look and work great. The Butcher Block look just as good. Now, I use a local carpenter I sourced who made a great looking media stand out of thick maple with African Padauk wood inlays and thick metal hairpin legs for less than a third of what audio racks go for.

Even with that, you'll still need some good footers to isolate your gear so keep that in mind.

All the best,
