Personally, I use a Bell 'O design that is steel and glass shelving.It is dead quiet. Happy Listening 
Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod?
All wood, especially, Maple is outstanding. There are other brands that use steel, aluminum and suspension-type designs. So, there is something to be said for those niche' products as well. 
subwoofer crossover- lowest is best almost always?
OP-what brand sub do you use? Much will depend on the branding.Otherwise, 80Hz is a good place to start tweaking to taste.

New Orleans high end stores?
Thanks! for sharing- Dave. It would appear that Wilson is the best game in town at this juncture.  Does anyone have an update on Jay Valentino?Wherever he is now, I hope he is still into Audio.

Sopra No.2 Overpriced?

An Amplifier Change for my Wilson Sophia 2's?
OP-a Bryston power amp is a sonic match. You can go back as far as 3B model. These power amps have a magical synergy w/ an ARC Ref5 SE pre-amp.
