If you remove a shelf, that would be a waste of a few hundred bucks, just to accomodate gear, hopefully it does not come to that.

...but cheaper than a new rack. There is no need to do that at this point, though. I have gear aplenty to fill it. I'm thinking way off in the future if I went the way of an integrated amp or something like that.

Beautiful setup. Will be interested to hear your impressions of the sonic differences you hear with the Samson vs. your earlier rack.

How is the rack doing? Did you notice any odor with yours? I assembled mine as soon as it arrived, and noticed a strong odor. Someone said that was the sealer venting. When I assembled my Samson V2 in the HT it had been sitting in the garage for 2-3 months, and it didn't have any odor.
While I love both racks, the Rosewood color is a dust magnet. I am still trying to find a good way to dust and polish these beasts.

I put the Samson rack together on Saturday night, and left town for the holidays on Monday. I'm still not back, so more updates will come next week when the gear repopulates the rack. I'm not that concerned about dust, since my previous two racks were black, also a dust magnet. My solution for that is the Swiffer Duster. For now, it's settling into the hardwood floor and hopefully hasn't fallen through to the first floor.

Great rack.
I have a 4-shelf Samson rack with 4-inch shelves and 48-inch rods and cannot praise this design enough. I can brace myself with hands against the top shelf and not budge the rig. I haven't gone overboard as if my life depended on it, but I've applied significant force and had no wiggle that I can detect. Shipping is expensive, but I suspect that that is true with almost any well-designed rack. Joe |

I mistakenly purchased a maple rack by a well known competitor, and it was a nightmare. The mapleshade is as advertised. For my needs, stability was paramount in rack choice.
