RedRiver, I believe Paul was referring to the tiny Panasonic speakers on the rack. They look to be part of a home theater set-up.
He makes gorgeous sounding speakers that one can listen to all day and not get tired of.
My bad, that room was initially for watching movies. I covered the plasma TV and left Panasonics on the top of rack; pretty soon we moved Panasonic kit upstairs to living room and decimated this room solely for music; the top tier of rack later filled with turntable; thanks for point it out:-)
Thanks @RedRiver, I’ll get some, only £48 for a set of 6. I’m on carpet so don’t need the spike plates
I replaced a cheap three level stand, wide enough for a 46" TV, which rested on my Berber carpeted floor, with a Salamander SN20B/A. It’s solid and has worked very well for my purposes. I’ve also recently added the inexpensive IsoNode feet, and the difference with the DS dac and Oppo 203 were immediately noticeable (I ignored the weight rating and sized them for the components’ foot sizes - see Music Direct for best mid size pricing; plus, their adhesive is useless, so I superglued them to appropriate sized neoprene fender washers). You can get a sense of different Salamander stands in action at https://www.audioelation.com/ under listening rooms.
“Does anybody actually have the Salamander Archetype stands? They look to be pretty decent for the price.”
Yes, I have owned for over a decade and use for my audio stack. Very pleased with the results. Good sonics, I have a 5 shelf rack and 3 shelf rack stacked on top. I use vibration control dampers on each shelf.
I just acquired a Rigidrack from Butcher Block Acoustics for my A/V rack. I needed 36" shelves to work in my application. Very happy with this rack too. Each shelf is rated to handle up to 500 lbs. each.
