SolidSteel 3 Series vs Salamander Archetype


I'm on a budget and would appreciate any input on these racks. I can buy an Archetype 5.0 new for $225 and the SS 3.4 for $399-is the SS worth the price difference?

I own both.
IMO: I'd suggest you go with the SolidSteel 3 Series although they are both good selections. Sonically, I'm hot sure that I can hear a difference, but the principals SolidSteel incorporates into the stand look to me to make more sense.
Check the weights. IMHO, a major factor is weight. After that, the ability to isolate one shelf from another. Music Direct has had some SS demo units on sale in their mailer.
