Best Componet rack for large Tube Amps


I just took delivery of my new VAC 140's......and they are heavy...95lbs ea. These amps have me reconfiguring my listening area....so i need a new amp rack that will hold 4 amps. Total weight will be about 350lbs and the shelf size must be at least 18x18. The one concern I have is heat and space for adequate ventilation as well as build quality and sonic performance. I have looked at several racks and right now I'm leaning to a Mapleshade Samson V2 with 4" shelves. I'm sure there are others and my budget is a 1800+ or minus. I need recomendations as this is the only thing from me and some great sound.

Hi Richard,

Your system has the WayWow factor big time.....yes they did arrive safely and in mint condition. I changed the voltage cards to 120v so i'm really chompin at the bit here.
The amps are not the signatures but 140's with the sentry circut built in 1995....they measure 18x18x9....Kevin was excited for me as he thought they were a great buy.
I purchased a 2 octet matched set of Sophia carbon plates...they sound great on my 70/70.
I called Paul at Adona (took your advise)great guy and he spec'd a 4 tier rack with a 6,15,15,15 configuration in black and gold (sorry to copy)that should look great...I added the cherry wood trim. The bad news is it is a 2 week lead time. Gladly it was in my budget....I looked at the mapleshaded and the Finite Elemente but was a budget buster. I will send you pics of the amps.
Richard and everybody thanks for the info and advice.

Best,
Roger
