seems like your not getting any real feedback on experience except for the Atlantis discussion. I have a 5 shelf Zoethecus reference. Three Z-slabs, a Z-pod, and a Z-shelf. I purchased it used on Audiogon - an excellent deal. But enough of that. Contrary to the aesthetic appeal, the rack is constructed with knock down hardware that is hidden when the shelves are installed. The shelves themselves are suspended on thin composite strips attached to secure the corners of each shelve by 2 small screws at each end. I was not impressed with the construction. The unit I purchased had almost all of the cam locks loose when I received it, and 2 were completely missing. I'm very happy with the way the unit looks, but I can't really say I've noticed a sonic difference over the rack it replaced (Michael Green -just-a-rack deluxe) (components on the rack-proceed AVP/BPA3, PE DV-05, transparent audio cables). Another thing, Sugarbrie recommended the Synergy above for flexibility. I have one of those for my 'family' system. It certainly has some short comings for that application. But aestheically it looks pretty good (cherry, glass doors, cherry sides). The strips that hold the glass in place fall off regularly. The back doesn't really allow for much in the way of cable hiding (so it's in storage). Can't comment on the sonics due to the system that's contained in it.
