Well ladies and gentlemen, looks like I'm building a new a/v stand this weekend. I've been buying quit a bit of new equipment here lately and it seems I've run out of room. The new stand will be built out of 3/4" white oak and stained ebony in color to match the rest of the speakers and the room. I'm going to datto channels vertically of the insides of the stand and flush mount brass Pilaster Strips for the adjustable shelves, a whole lot quicker than drilling holes every 2 inches for those pegs. I'll keep you posted on the build process along with pics.
