I am looking for a rack and can't seem to find something really nice and elegant yet sturdy to hold 150lbs on it's shelves with depth of 22-23 inches. I have a BDI 9522 and it's only 18 inches deep. |

If you are wanting to hide the cables, a roll out rack is preferable, if you have the rear space. And I thought the Classe was heavy! Amps on the floor is good, allowing for dissipation, this is largely for big tubes, though. It would really depend on if you want to diplay the cables or not, I suppose.Some big,fat cables are made for display. I like amps on the floor, myself. |

Not only is the consideration done for heat dissipation but also for microphonics. If you really need to place these amps inside a rack you should either investigate a professional rack and some rack shelves or ears, or look in the back of Stereophile or Absolute Sound. You'll find companies advertising racks designed for heavy amplifiers in those pages. . |

Bronze Member Username: TomcatAllentown, PA Post Number: 52 Registered: Jan-06 | well, its for anthem or parasound which are around 100lbs. I cannot put it on floor, it needs to be in a rack. I need a rack where I can hide wires if possible. and it has to look nice. |

Otherwise follow Jan's advise. Why would you hide such a huge/quality piece? kamran, it is meant to be on display! And don't trip on the cables. |
