Rack to fit Rotel gear

[mesopaul]

Hi there, first time at posting.

I live in Australia and am having a huge problem finding an audio rack capable of both fitting in and supporting my components.

The system is still under development but currently I possess the Rotel Rb1090 and the RMB1095. Waiting for the new lineup of Rotel gear ( RSP1098 replacement inclusive ) but envisage having all the source and processing equipment as Rotel. Problem is, with the dimensions of the two above-mentioned amps, no rack I have found has the shelving high enough to support the height of the two Power amps, let alone their weight. When I do eventually have all the equipment I was after, the rack will probable need to be about six shelves in dimension and able to support a combined weight of about 110kg ( 240lb ).

None of the racks I have seen or enquired about so far can fit all the proposed items, in particular the amps. If anyone has found a brand or solution that can achieve all of this please let me know.

Regards to All !

In Aus Bunnings have " Connect-It " which are black aluminium sections that you can connect to make up a rack. They only have 3 sizes here in brisbane. You will nead to cut it to fit & that needs a metal drop saw. CAPRAL aluminium also have the same stuff called "Qubelok" but they sell it in 6.5m lengths only & charge $2.00 for every cut (in Brisbane). Have a look at www.capral.com.au. Back a while ago one of the crew on the forum at http://www.dba.org.au/ gave me the idea. I have one about a 1m high .455 wide & deep (inner measure) with 5 shelves including the bottom & top with my 1095 sitting in the bottom (extra spaces under to allow more air) with my rsx972 on the next shelf. It cost about $150aus all up to make. It sutes me fine no flash furniture or surrounds here only good sound.

I don't know what the options are for purchasing in Australia, but I went with a Synergy system from Salamander Designs. Very simple, sturdy, and flexable. There are several color options and you can custom design almost any configuration you can imagine.
