Help? Quadraspire Q4 Evo stand v SolidTech Radius?


I have an opportunity to buy one of of these racks.

Quadra is a 4 shelf, and the Solid Tech Radius (Solo) is a 3 shelf.

Which would you take purely for its sound qualities / isolation abilities? (Looks are secondary for me.)

I'm looking for a stand that keeps a fairly neutral presentation and doesn't warm/smooth up the sound or make things bright..

Thanking you for your thoughts!

I use a Solid Tech Radius Duo 2. I did alot of research regarding my audio rack purchase. I decided on the Solid Tech-Duo 2 over the Solid Steel 5.4 due to more self space and a better appearence. I have filled my posts(6) 3/5 of the way with cat litter and the rack is solid and dead quiet. I do use a Sound Mechanics Platform for my Rega P9 and a Gregitek Stab 1 under a Northstar Sapphire for added vibration control. The Solid Tech Radius or Duo are a great starting point for a serious audio rack. I have seen a Quadraspire rack in person and the build quality was a good level below the Solid Tech or Solidsteel.
After putting together my retirement "Lifetime Achievement Award" all McIntosh system I decided on a 4 shelf Quadraspire Sunoko Vent T rack, with all black vented shelfs and black posts at lengths that fit my gear like a glove. Cosmetically the unit almost disappears and just showcases the Mac gear and the big blue meters. It just looks great. In addition the Vent T series has the heavy solid wood shelfs with the larger vertical posts which was a must for the heavy Mac gear as the MC452 amp. alone weighs 130lbs. Another plus is the rack assembles, simply and flawlessly in just minutes and what a relief that is! The rack and the gear sit like a rock with no sway or give on carpet with the modified tapered feet (it also ships with a set of flat feet). It turned out that not only is the rack Wifey friendly but we both independently came to the instant conclusion that the rack is very, very neutral but so significantly extended the mid-range we now have a system we never get tired of listening to, and I guess that is what the audio quest is all about. Hope my experience with Quadraspire helps.
Hi guys

Sorry for the delay in responding to this - thought audigon emailed you when someone responded to posts - guess not!! Thought nobody replied=).

Well, I ended up buying a very good value and mint condition used Quadraspire Q4 Evo. Mostly because the price was literally 1/3rd the cost of the Solid Tech. Just assembling it now and will reply/post a review as to my thoughts.

thank you for responding it helped greatly!!
