What three shelf stand should I purchase?

Depending on your amount you want to spend, the Sistrum racks from Star Sound are steel platforms in a triangular shape that fasten with infinite adjustability to steel 3 steel rods which have microbearings inside one sleeve of the rods. There are Audio Points that face up in a triangle pattern, also adjustable, that each component sits on. At the bottom of each road is a 2" Audio Point where it contacts the floor. The rack works on the Coloum friction principle that takes the vibrations from equipment and drains them rapidly to the ground. The result is an awesome transformation of the sound to more live, detailed, quiet and dynamic with ZERO drawbacks. I have a super Lenco (100 lbs.) perched on it and each platform can stand 300 lbs. I have a 4 platform rack and the Sistrums under my VMPS RM40s and the difference is staggering. Brian Cheney at VMPS said putting the speakers on platforms was a bad idea for the sound, but he was wrong.

I have all my components on Sistrum stands. Their rack system is prohibitive. I'm sure it's amazing, but it's too much for this audiophool...

"...with the bucks saved take your wife out for a Swedish meatball dinner."

That's funny. For the price difference between Ikea offerings and some audiophile racks you could take your whole neighborhood out to a Swedish meatball dinner at Ikea.

The Ikea Lack tables, in particular, are a great value and you can make a multi-platform rack from them.

particle board is not the way to go, but thanks

Whatever one you like, tell wifey to chill .
