Default Bassocontinuo Fine Audio Racks

Anyone using these? I've been looking for the right rack on and off for about a year and think I may settle on these. They are made out of Italy. Just trying to figure out which configuration. I really like the idea of just adding a new cylinder to the legs if you need to increase shelf space. The rack can flex as you make changes to your system.

The Revolution Line seems to be their new high performer with carbon fiber shelves and suspension. Their prices appear to be pretty competitive.

Wow, gorgeous racks. The brand is new to me, no experience but looks like a real winner.

My dealer has them and they are stunning in person. This would be my go to rack.

They would marry very well with Sonus like speakers.

Georges, any particular model stand out? Or all of them stunning? I'm considering the Accordeon AA and Revolution Line.

I've seen the Accordeon and the zen line. They are both very well made and really amazing quality in term of finishes. The zen is quite massive and you need a big room to really integrate it. I'd go with the Accordeon, the price is very competitive imo.

I haven't seen the revolution in person but it looks quite stunning.

Thank you Georges! I'm leaning more towards Accordeon due to the size of my listening room (14.5 X 12 X 9 - my gear and speakers are along the 12 ft. wall). The Accordeon line looks fantastic in photos, and yes, I'm quite surprised by the price.

Can someone recommend a dealer in the US? They don't have one on the website.

As far as I can tell there isn't one (which I find unusual). They normally don't sell direct, but will in our case since no dealer in US.

They are even better in person. The Wenge finish is amazing.

The Accordeon at my dealer is Wenge with the last rack in leather.
