Lovan audio racks....and other racks.....


Hi group,
I'm shopping around for a quality audio rack; Steve Blinn caught my eye and I'm leaning toward one of his cheaper racks....but before I plunk down a few thousand, are there good, less-expensive options? I saw Lovan and would like your thoughts on their products.....; if anyone has thoughts on quality racks that don't cost a fortune, I'm all ears......
Thanks,
Jeff

After 3.5 years of upgrading I think I'm done. So its time to get a nice rack. The Timbernation racks suit my tastes and the possibilities are endless. I talked to Chris the builder and he is building one from scratch with custom paint and stain that will ship out by mid week. The cost is extremely reasonable and he uses real wood. No doubt in my mind this will be the best choice.
To compare the two brands IMO both will be very sturdy and last a lifetime. As far as isolation both have solid wood shelves. The Timbernation has a wooden framework vs S. Blinn's aluminum, no advantage to either??? or at least very comparable. The T nations can be painted or stained, framework and all, where as the S. Blinn's shelves can be any paint or stain, but the framework is either natural aluminum or adonized black. Looks wise both are appealing depending on tastes. My wife and sister like the T.nation looks because it meshes well with the other furniture, me too. Costs the T. nation racks are cheaper for a similar design. When all is considered the Timbernation better meet my needs and tastes.
I'm a big believer in credit where credit is due, Chris at Timbernation is a TRUE craftsman. I talked to him slightly over a week ago about a custom rack built from scratch and now ten days later its in my room and its just gorgeous. I have never seen a better fit and finish, simply top notch work! Talk about sturdy this thing could easily support 500lbs. I even think my rig sounds better.
