Maple/light wood racks

If you are looking for something that doesn't need to hold a whole bunch of components, you might want to check with a woodworker in you area. That way you could get a match of wood species and a close color match. (Not to mention get exactly what you want style wise.)

You might want to check out the Bello AVSC-2102, http://www.bello.com/default1.htm. Mine has worked out quite well.

I think the Salamander Synergy Twin 20 in Maple fits yor description exactly. Check it out. http://www.mander.com/syn/synergy.php3?modelbase=sn20

These have all been very helpful ideas...thanks so much for the input. Not to get too drippy on you, but I really owe the 'Gon community a debt of gratitude for helping me out every step of the way. You guys haven't let me down yet.

Thedautch, I can personally recommend a Vantage Point Contours rack for you. I own one.

The racks are available in several shelf(maple, cherry, black) and leg(many - i.e. silver, black, rust, etc.) colors. You can get 9" or 7" shelves.

The one I have has maple shelves and silver legs. It's an A/V rack, 36" wide, three shelves @ 9" each, and will hold 4 components in the lower two shelves. They also have a wider rack, which I think may be a bit better at providing space for the audio components below.

Fits in nice with the room. And, very, very sturdy. I rate it much higher than the Lovan Pyramid A/V rack I also have. It's one of the better racks in the Non - exotic category. While I wouldn't say it offers excellent value, just about no racks do. They are vastly overpriced.

For this, and most racks, I would say they would benefit from a bit of dampening of the shelves. I have heard Dynamat works, as well as things like a steel plate.

GOOD LUCK!
