Rack effects on aktiv equipment

I recently went akitv with 2 LK85s and a Majik as pre. When I fired it up, the mids were sucked out and all of the life was gone.

Connections, speaker configuration, placement have been tried to no affect. The dealer I work with is now suggesting the SoundOrg rack I have may be the culprit, and is particularly focusing on the current MDF shelves [about 3/8 in]. I have thought of changing to the enamel finished rack with glass shelves. He has contacts at Mana Accoustics and is running ideas across them; I am waiting for the dealer's inquiries to make a move. Unfortunately, something at a Mana level is probably outside of budget.

In the mean time, I have gone back to passive biamping because the sound was sucked-out so badly.

Anyone played with different racks and LINN gear?

I have my linn Classik sitting in a zoethecus rack with the e.shelf instead of the much more expensive z.slab or z.pod.

Sounds good to me. I really doubt the rack can have THAT much effect. What is your source?
