    I have a Soundstyle XS105 rack in silver with silver/blue glass shelves you can have if you can collect. It's in very good condition - though I'm sure you'd find some marks if you look closely. It's even boxed.

    Also the 3 shelf AV version in similar finish if that's any interest.

    Hi Chris,

    although Bristol would be v difficult for me, do you have better pics by any chance ?

    The Wailers Zippo Catch A fire caught my eye - I have a lovely original of that one too

    I did an internet search last night for a rack with those measurements but I couldn't find any thing close in stock form.

    Perhaps you could contact Hi Fi Racks to see if they will build one for you.

    I have a 7 shelf rack which is 40 inches high, 2 ft wide, but only 40 cm deep. It has 10mm smoked glass shelves and threaded rods for the uprights and it weighs a ton. Would like to downsize but need to find a replacement first.

    DAC/pre = Rotel RC 1572
    Power amp = ADA PF201
    Speaks = Quadral Chromium Style 6

    I too had a look around last night, and the max depth I could find was about 47cm. Although if I was buying one, and the shelves were glass I would have a glazing supplier make me a top shelf to the required depth (and they can even bevel the edges, although the cost would end up about £80). Still, if you only need the top shelf to be deeper that could be an option.

    Just occurred to me, that for similar money the top shelf could probably be made from granite, in a choice of colours and thicknesses. That might be quite cool
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Yeah thanks guys.

    Coincidentally, I had actually been toying with the idea of going Hi-Fi Racks to my own dimensions, which I'd really like to do.

    However and as with most things, down to funds and I'm running out of things to sell
