I put a system in a back bedroom completely on shelves & bought all the shelves & brackets at Home Depot. I changed stuff around a few times but what I wound up with is the double track brackets with the 18" shelf brackets & used 2 pieces of shelving to get 20" of shelf space. This allows enough room for the cables to make easy bends & I have some rear ported speakers that sit ~ 10" from the back wall.
I put up another set of brackets just for the other speaker but only used the single track as I only put one more shelf below the speaker to hold some misc. stuff. I also used 3.5" wood screws directly into studs, so no question whether the walls would be able to support the weight of the integrated, CD & one speaker.
I recently introduced a new IC into the system & it is less flexible than the stuff I had been using, so if I keep these cables I might buy two more shelves & extend the shelving out a little more. Easy to do as each 20" shelf is made up from a 12" & 8" piece.
