Can somebody recommend a suitable audio cabinet/wall unit?


I just purchased a complete Yamaha Home Theater set up consisting of the following: CX-5200, MX-A5200, BD-A1060 and CD-S700. I also purchased six  GoldenEar AON 3's, Super Center XL, two HSU VTF-15H MKII's and two GoldenEar SuperSub XL's. I have been unable to find any type of wall unit/AV cabinet that will allow me to install the amp,pre/pro and other equipment. This equipment is very deep with the cables installed (approx. 22"). I live in the Tampa, FL area and have been unsuccessful in finding anything to use along with a 70" TV. Any help with some suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Hiring a custom cabinet maker is out of the question. I have almost spent my entire allowance on this system.

Please see this web site for cabinets, etc.  We have a 66” long Salamander cabinet where our 55” LG TV is attached to a bracket (adjustable) that is attached to the cabinet.  There is plenty of room below for your audio components.

Please also see the Salamander design your own tab for custom cabinets.  They have many cabinet options for you to choose from. 
You are welcome.  Please measure your space and audio equipment 3 times to ensure you get the right sized cabinet.  

Check all clearances in the back, front, sides and top.  Verify your 70” TV fits in the allocated space.   If needed, I suggest your retailer visit your home to confirm your space and all measurements.   Please also confirm your electrical power plugs and your Internet cabling matches your needs.  Review how the wiring will fit behind the cabinet. If needed, make a drawing to verify the spacing.  Enjoy.    
Hi John,   Losing power is a concern but I have not done anything about it.  My electronics are plugged direct into the wall and I do not use any surge protectors, etc.   If your electrical power is unstable, you could consider an uninterruptible power supply to better protect your equipment.   Another option is a whole house surge protector.  Others on this site may have a better solution.

I am not a fan of placing a sub-woofer in the Salamander cabinet.  My feeling is the Cabinet is designed to hold your equipment and not for your speakers.  You could experiment but I have concerns about the resulting sound quality results.   I believe a sub-woofer should in in its own enclosure for the best results. Please ask your Salamander retailer.
