VTI audio rack, any good?


I would like to change my audio rack and I need a 6 shelf unit with a high WAF. Price is a major concern and I really can't go more than 500.00. Since I own 2 toploading cd players, I need sufficient space between shelfs. I would need 3 shelfs to have 9 inches between them, the other two could be from 5-7 inches.

Presently I am using a Sanus audio rack but some of my equipment is stacked on top of one another so I want to alleviate that. I have been looking at various racks and found a VTI rack that uses glass shelfs supported by 4 metal tubular columns. Each shelf is claimed to hold up to 200 pounds. It comes with floor spikes. The dimensions are 50" high, 23" wide and 21" deep. My question is, is this a decent rack or should I just keep what I have? Does anyone have any suggestions in my price range? Thanks for your help.

I have a VTI rack that my wife uses for her tv and sound system. Regardless of the cost, I'd definitely rate the one we own as low-end of the high-end. A more than nice rack for the non-audiophile, with very strong (speaking from personal experience) WAF. An OK product for a midline high-end audio devotee.
I bought a Salamander Synergy S40 s shelf audio rack with a 7th shelf that pulls out for my laptop. I also added the perforated metal sides and the rack looks stunning in my living room. It is extremely well made and very sturdy. The shelf spacing is fully adjustable for every shelf.
Hey, I am considering purchasing the VTI speaker stands. Does anyone have an opinion regarding their quality?
Thanks, Maurice.
Jazzman, if you read through the comments in this forum you'll see a pretty clear picture of what people think.
I have this rack and I would rate it good. The paint scratches on a 500K Lambo too...Be careful. If you own McIntosh gear or other similar tank sized equipment, this will probably hold them all in terms of weight and dimensions. I don't see how filling the legs with sand will make any difference after placing 110 pound amp on it... but I admit I haven't tried that.
