beautiful, great EURO style

maybe price

I put it together in NO time;very easy to set up but also very heavy ( STABILITY). If you like modern audio furniture this is the way to go. It is completly out the ordinary; all the others out there are the same: components stacked on shelves:BORING! I was able to install my SONY 300 cd changer, 19 inches deep and 7and 1/2 inches tall despite fixed shelves. I consider the italians are hard to beat when it comes to style ( cars, fashion, etc). If do not want to be like John Doe or Mr. Jones Nextdoor who are Best Buy and Circuit City "audiophiles " look for an AVS 1000. You are not going to be sorry. Even if you have a rear projection TV, you can use the top shelf ( intended for a TV up to 36 inches) for TWO regular components ( is 38 inches wide). Also EXCELLENT wire management system. Noboby is going to to see your "esoteric" connections and even your thick speaker wire will be out of sight. I did not see one before I order it because nobody in my area has them in stock and is product from july 1999. Shop around for price J@R, SounCity, etc. Visit also belloggetti.com. Mine was $540 deliverd to my door; not bad, but still not realy the best value bconsidering I just read a few minutes ago on this web site people buying a Sony receiver STR DB930 A BEST BUY and getting excellent reviews for $ 400-425-440 etc. However, all the audio furniture is OVERPRICED, so what can you do...you have to install your $ 400 receiver in some kind of shelf...

Poor stability, no adjustability, difficult cable management system

If you're looking for a rock steady rack or stand look elsewhere. I needed a particular style and I'm pleased with the AVS-1000. It's not the most stable stand, but it makes up for that in probably the most clever, contemporary design in its price range. The shelving provides plenty of space for all my components (except an integrated tube amp which sits on top; I am not using this for a display device) and the front panels are easily accessible. I am using Goertz cable and found it very difficult to thread it through the rear of the stand. But I am very happy with my stand and can recommend the AVS-1000 to anyone seeking a quality, modern piece of furniture to house their A/V system.
