Testimonials / Reviews:
"The best racks ever made. I spent the better part of two years searching for a rack that was large and strong enough. I found my new rack. Build quality & tolerances were simply amazing. Audiav racks offer infinite flexibility & a multitude of upgrade options in shelving and even EMF blocking by magnetically shielding the shelves."
"Thanks for the best rack I've ever found!"
Ken Taraszka M.D. - Associate Editor - AVRev, Modern Home Theater Magazine
"I am loving the rack. My gear looks awesome in it. Great rack, very sturdy & well constructed!"
Gene DellaSala HAA - President Audioholics - Audio Engineering Society
"All I can say is Wow!… sonic artifacts are gone and long forgotten."
Dave Clark - President Positive Feedback Online
"The platforms revealed a new stunning reproduction in the soundstage. Much, much more audio detail from the same 'ol equipment. Very, very happy. Thanks."
Ron, C.A.
"They claim that they design nothing less than the true & absolute benchmark for all serious high-end audio racks and I certainly agree. Much better than I've seen available anywhere at any price. It was nearly half the cost of my second choice & certainly blew it away in sound quality. Completely overjoyed!"
Mike, N.Y.
 "I spent a great deal of time studying many other custom rack companies and none could come anywhere close to the ideal combination of aesthetics, function, and value. I was blown away by the service and product"
S.K., A.R.
"The work done by Audiav is simply impeccable. Everyone who has seen it has been impressed. I would recommend them to anyone who is a serious audiophile & also wants good furniture."
Dr. P.D., N.Y.
"My new Audiav rack made my other 'ultra-high-end' rack look like a toy! Made my old *** look like junk setting next to the Crystal. The design and overall finish was actually much higher quality than my greatest expectation. An absolute perfect match with my equipment! The best sounding platforms I've heard, an expandable frame, and unbelievable packaging."
Ed, C.O.
"This is the most amazing rack I have ever seen and it totally kills in terms of construction / materials anything I've ever seen from HRS, Grand Prix and Finite Elemente. I had three audiophiles over this evening to have a listen before heading out to dinner and they all loved the look and construction of the rack. They especially commented on the excellent sound, finish and the shelves. The finish is superb and looks a million bucks, with the large chunky legs and the polished granite!"

The same legendary products that were once only available to the most discerning celebrities and elite clientèle... is now available directly to you in your unique custom specified design...
 Acclaimed throughout the civilized world, Audiav's Signature shelf platforms are multi-layered; offering patented shielding, shock absorption, extreme isolation, high-mass damping, and precisely fabricated element plates, which come together to yield a truly perfect audio / video platform. Signature Shelving reduces thermal and magnetic interference*, EMI/RFI induction, HF radiation, vibration, and ESD in precise combinations for true-to-life scenarios.
 Audiav's infinitely adjustable shelving and modular frame design allows you to accommodate any height equipment while permitting you to add / remove shelving anytime your system needs change. Precision 8-way upright modular posts allow you to add on to your existing racking to create larger credenzas, TV stands & entertainment centers… or to hold your new monstrous 400lb turntable or massive power amp.
 Your audio racks and stands should be more than something that simply holds up your equipment... it should also conform to your future needs by allowing for changes in configuration and equipment heights. Our a/v rack designs utilize a patented sliding cam locking system that allows for infinite adjustment without welded, screwed or fixed frame points.
Our uniquely advanced, rigid frame also lets you add, move and remove shelving as your needs change... anytime.
Don't settle for cheap T-slot aluminum racking that looks better in a machine shop than in your home. Audiav's competitor's have attempted to mimic all aspects of our unique designs for over a decade.
“Audiav is utterly unique... it is fully adjustable and configurable and holds the heaviest gear while completely revolutionizing "easy setup". The revolutionary, advanced shielded platforms offer complete isolation that can be actually felt at real world levels and increases sound quality throughput of housed components. Vibration and crosstalk were absent from all tests. With such unique platforms and a modular type framework built for re-arranging and providing simple shelf adjustments, no competitor comes remotely close."
Audiav spent a decade pouring over the smallest details of making a truly great audio stand, one worthy of creating a lifestyle... We understand that it takes more than weld points, hard spiked connections, bolts or screwed-in shelves to address the vibrations, interference, heat and overall size of many high-end equipment components.
Audiav has addressed every known isolation concern in performance home audio & video furniture in one perfect system. High-end, high-current electronics create larger inductive fields. There has never been a commercial a/v racking system made that offers advancements to properly combat the real world environmental forces that disrupt clean signal processing while incorporating flexibility in adjustment and configuration…. until Audiav.
We have addressed and relieved every known concern in performance home audio & video furniture in one easy system. We designed unique, platform-to-platform-to-frame isolation platform slabs around a strong and flexible frame.
"Many a/v furniture manufacturers claim that they "decouple" using spikes, suspension or some other magical solid-to-solid connection. Claims of this bogus nature completely mislead the consumer and the industry as a whole. Shelf spikes and other mass on mass loaded "hard" surfaces are used for coupling... creating a bond for vibration to follow."
Don't settle for inferior "patent pending" or "patent applied" products. Most of these companies will never be approved, as they have no actual technological advancement or clear scientific based design uniqueness. Audiav designs implement over a dozen worldwide approved patents, fabricated and created by the top of the field designers in several countries.
Research… Innovate… Research More… Audiav Audio Furniture Rack Design.
"Since Audiav pioneered nearly every advancement in the "uber-performance" audio rack & stand industry over the past decade, it is no wonder why many of Audiav's retired concepts have spun off several companies claiming "something new" when experimenting with carbon fiber, granite, adjustability, modular systems, polyacrylics, viscoelastic materials, asphalt, quartz, anti-vibration, anti-resonant composites and exotic equipment shielding concepts."
Most competitors in the marketplace today use actual concepts that were stolen, abandoned or deemed improper to adhere to true & stringent reference design principles that Audiav created a decade ago."
Our customers know we design the most advanced audio racks, video stands and entertainment furniture... but we will let you decide for yourself.

Audiav started as a "really, really big idea" an avid designer stepped back and noticed something odd; listening rooms were filled with a/v components, sprawled throughout the floors, taking up massive amounts of space. When he asked why the floors were filled with equipment that should normally be in a rack, he was told that there were many reasons why a suitable "rack" didn't exist; the amps were so tall or heavy that they couldn't fit in standard racks, the components generate so much heat that the standard rack materials were inadequate, multiple types of interference types between the components stacked closely together was wholly unacceptable, localized vibration sources made isolation nearly impossible and finally; that high-end furniture manufacturers could not solve the issue of how to combine all of the (above mentioned) elements and maintain aesthetic appeal.
In a true moment of epic clarity, the proverbial "light bulb" turned "on" and the relentless quest for the absolute "perfect" racking method painstakingly began. In their search to design the revolutionary a/v furniture system, Audiav scoured the globe pulling expertise from U.S. Defense military vendors, military, aerospace, racing and metallurgic engineering / prototype fabrication sectors while bonding with top researchers and the highest-profile designers in Germany, Italy, and the United States.
In the 1990's Audiav was aptly dubbed the World's most expensive and most exotic audio furniture rack stand ever designed. Cost of production with the newly developed 18kt Gold Genuine and the 6063 T6 virgin billet designed Diamond Series designs were not obtainable by 99% of audio enthusiasts.
Audiav set out to build the absolute, no-hype needed type of system that addressed ALL of the top 20 needs in the daily life of the true a/v enthusiast / aficionado. Audiav utilized a decade of customer research to emerge as the quintessential reference audio furniture designer, uniquely blending customizable art into a perfectly functional design.
Our design teams stretch across the globe and have since been designing truly unique reference a/v furniture at lower and lower price points for some of the world's most luxurious residences in Paris, Aspen, LA, and New York; while also catering to the many, many suburbanite's underground "basement" audio shrines around the world.
Audiav offers a firm distinction in strict reference esoteric audio styling by using new unmatched build tolerances and innovative modern design. Our precision designed luxury furniture addresses all the needs of performance a/v display furniture, including: interference shielding, superb anti-resonance w/ jitter resistance, massive weight handling, heat dissipation, decor matching, EMF block, Granite slabs, easy setup and complete compatibility with all known home audio and video components.
Complex external elements constantly bombard your delicate DSP's, components and signal processing pathways from other surrounding electrical components. Shock, motion, interference, induction and jitter can also affect electronics visually and sonic-ly. Our meticulously designed products pay proper attention to the spacing and materials that are used to reduce outside variables and allow your equipment to perform as it was designed.
We think that a 'no compromise' audio furniture solution is exactly what your delicate equipment deserves... and, fondly dreams of.
With adjustable designs to hold anything from two (2) Krell Master Reference Amplifiers MRA (tm)* to dozens of assorted audio components... our customizable furniture is among the most versatile audio video furniture available anywhere in the world & can always be custom designed to your exact specifications.

 in the news:
"The AudiAV rack is not for the timid. This is an all-out assault on component shelving, and each rack is custom designed by you and the AudiAV team to perfectly suit your system. The beauty of their design is that each shelf is infinitely adjustable, allowing the rack to perfectly adapt to any system, now or in the future. Should your system grow, you can always add on new shelves, upgrade the shelves for more isolation, or add on to the sides of the unit you already own. Additions can attach at intervals of 45 degrees, allowing one to easily make a full AV shelving system from these racks. The infinite adjustability of these racks, as well as their expandability, make these racks you can live with forever, while the options for isolation and interference blocking make them totally customizable to mate with your system. Due to their super-high tolerances, these racks piece together like no other I have seen. The connectors Audiav uses are simply amazing, simple to use yet ultra-strong."
Conclusion: "The AudiAV Crystal rack is the finest rack I have ever found, and one I expect to use for years to come. These racks are beautiful, solid and infinitely adjustable, making them adapt to any changes in your system, while the shelving options allow you to further customize the racks to suit your needs, now and in the future."

Positive Feedback Online's review of Audiav Signature EMF+ digital isolation shelving highlights real-world and audible advantages of Audiav's EMI & EMF attenuation effects.
DAVE CLARK: "All I can say is WOW… these sonic artifacts are gone and long forgotten." "Warm, natural, smooth …very nice indeed." "Seems that the Mac Book was no doubt emitting something that the Cary player did not like and with the shelf now acting as a shield, well …music now sounds very smooth and natural." "I did try sheets of ERS paper to no affect. The shelf= BIG affect… very positive! (I would like to note that in initially trying a Dell laptop prior to the Mac Book, the Dell clearly produced an audible hum from the system when placed near the Cary SLP-05 preamp. The Mac did not produce this hum; it was dead quiet, though both did cause similar sonic artifacts when placed above the Cary player.)"
"The shelf support from Audiav uses several specific layers to address EMI/RFI. These materials are tested and chosen for their ability to mitigate the effects of EMI/RFI. All I can say is that prior to the shelf, while the computer rig sounded fine, it did have a slight glare or presence that was sort of obvious… things sounded good, just not great; a tad thin and grainy—too mid-rangy …not enough warmth.
With the shelf under the Mac Book all I can say is wow."
Dave Clark, President
