SolidSteel HS Audio Racks

I am I the market for an audio rack for the first time in a long while. I have all of my equipment on HRS M3x platforms but their top of the line rack is out of my range and the SXR racks are solid but not really something that would fit well in a living room well. The problem is the HRS platforms are 21'' x 19'' which are not a typical size that you can just easily place the platform and equipment  on a shelf and away you go. You are also talking about an 80lbs amp and a 45lbs HRS platform so the shelf must also hold 125lbs Safely. Symposium is on the list and Peter has been a great representative of their products......and that would also include Adona but those rack would have to be  ''custom made'' to accommodate that platforms and you know that that means. Solid Steel was another company but not sure how the ''utilitarian look '' would go in the living room. Steve Blinn is also on the list but I do not see much written on the on the sonics of those racks. I am looking for a rack that is an Audiophile piece and not just a piece of furniture. I looked up SolidSteel and at one point in time in the folklore of audio this stuff was good. I see where they have developed some new products and was wondering if anybody uses them. The ones I am looking at are in the HF series so no need for comments on any others but I do have a concerns over if those shelves could accommodate the weight and also the columns are steel etc .....and concerned on the sonics. I called the importer who responded to my questions but did not seem real interested in promoting the merits of the SolidSteel racks nor my concerns on the strength of the shelves. So the thoughts from the crowd would be appreciated as I do believe that audio racks are another important piece in the chain. Note ; they also have to look good as it will be going in the living room and '' she '' has ben great on that one so I want to keep the peace.
