I purchased the Premier audio rack and speaker stands because that's what my Paradigm speaker dealer recommended. Generally, I think they offer excellent quality and value but must score them lower for the following.
A couple minor issues. The threaded screws for the add on shelves are not long enough. You have to "massage" them to get them to the perfect height to allow the end caps to screw on. Poor design... I almost returned them. Once assembled, I noticed the tubes that go over these long screws were slightly out of alignment. The cardboard centering spacers must have slid or something while I was messing with the other problem. I wasn't about to take it apart again to center them properly because of all the time I spent getting the end caps on. Very annoying.

As far as expanding them three-years from now (Brad Miller)... I wouldn't expect the company to have the same design product available. I think it would have been nice if the company would have turned you down in a professional manner instead of ignoring you.

All-in-all, great price and quality excepting the above caveat. Knowing this going into the purchase probably wouldn't have deterred me (because it looks great) I just would have paid my dealer to assemble it.

I purchased the Bell'Oggetti AVS-707 as the first piece in my Home Theater System. It has been a joy to own. My 31" TV sets high enough to make movie watch ing very comfortable. The openess of the design lets all the heat producing audio-video equipment "cool-off" nicely. It's very rugged and although suggests a 30" TV as tops, I believe it could support a 35" TV, although I'd call customer service for there advice first before trying that. The CMS ( Cable Management System) hides some cable, it is just to narrow to get all the cable from a true Home Theater hidden away. It looks very modern and is designed for today's Home Theater enthusiast's

Looks good, sturdy, nice shelf spacing

adding new shelves is a major pain

cardboard placeholders that keep the tubes inline are not reliable if you intend to adding on shelves, the extra shleves I purchased later where not finished as smoothly as the original unit. The add on shelves are a pain to put on, the bars and the nuts supplied do not fit in an easy manner, they have to be played with for a while. The way mine finally ended up was not stable so I had to purchase a new set of bars and cut them myself. Aside from that annoyance they are nice stands and I would purchase mine again if I was given the choice.
