Question on Salamander Synergy system


I am considering the purchase of this system because it is the only one my wife seems to like the look of. Does it assist the sound quality?

Any recommendations for other systems in wood?

My wife thinks they are all ugly - looks like junk from a dorm room. Says most are clumsy looking at best.

hi,
agree with above as i have 2. i have 3 neaunce platforms
on my twin 30 for my sacd player, tubed pre-amp and
tubed phono pre and these are worlds better than the stock
shelves.
I have no reason to hide my gear other than my preference to do so. As another member recently remarked, "You have a stealth system". One doesn't know it's there until I point it out, and it makes me different than most audiophiles I know. The Salamander cabinet with perforated sides makes it possible to keep air circulating while keeping the gear from being obtrusive. I would think many wives might appreciate this, as well as other folks like me who prefer to keep the gear subdued in the overall design scheme of the room.
I have 2 salamander Synergy cabinets they offer great spousal acceptance, but do not help with audio stability( foot falls with turntable). I suggest you look at Adona racks,they have much better stability.
BTW, just another reason to hide (and lock) your gear: 2.5 year olds!!! Gotta agree the the WAF is high. I am one after all. But as much as we have taught our daughter to stay away, the TiVo access card has gone missing and she's becoming convinces she knows how to use our $2k DVD player all by herself.
