The 2301’s look great on those walnut stands. What wood did you choose for the rack?

I actually purchased a used older Core Audio Mod4 in Walnut from someone local in SF. Thus, had to match when I bought the new amps stands . The Mod4 is a bit different in build design, but a great rack in my opinion. McIntosh looks good on wood [emoji106]
