Experience with Sistrum or Grand Prix Monaco rack?


If anyone has tried either the Sistrum or Grand Prix Monaco racks and would be willing to share their experiences (particularly in comparison to others they used) I would greatly appreciate it. If you use the Monaco, have you used it with the Apex at all?

I am looking into a new rack system and, although I am willing to to $2,000-$3,000 retail for a 3 shelf rack and two amp stands), I want to get the best bang for my dollar and these looked promising.

Any other suggestions appreciated!

(PS - will hold an Audio Aero Capitole MK-II, Manley Steelhead and either Lamm amps or Tenors)

Thanks

Sounds like one sweet system you've got there. I, too, would love to know what's on the speaker horizon? Anyway, I use the Sistrum Rack systems and their Mini Monitor support system as well. They're wonderful. The best way to couple all your electronics. Call Robert at Starsound Technologies. He's the man, over there. He'll set you free. I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but I think they're quite an esoteric design. They will do wonders for your system. Your electronics, then your ears, will go where you never thought possible. warren
To couple or decouple? Again and again, that is the question. You can't, for crying out loud, isolate from airborne resonances. The very principles of isolation, will keep those airborne resonances flittering around in your entire system. Coupling, is not only based on solid principles: it's attainable. Sistrum products, couple better than anything out there because their system, doesn't, mix the two. Decoupling and coupling, that is. I won't keep, even the littlest trinket on my rack,unless it's composed, preferably of copper or bronze, because it's someting else that will slow the path of those evil nasties to that big ole rock: EARTH. Here we go again. peace, warren
