[QUOTE="Antman, post: 7977"] You only really need around 10-15 cms above the av amp for cooling - especially as most av stands don't have a front or back. Another avenue migh be to get a quote from a cupboard builder - there is an amazing range of colours and textures available in melamine, far easier to match your decor. If built well not only will it be relatively vibration free but fit your equipment exactly. I built one with an oak melamine top and normal melamine board a few years ago and it was absoloutely brilliant - price? R400 for the top (the thick kitchen type) and R300 for a complete board including all cutting. Far superior the even the 'game' type of product. If you anchor the unit with good, solid metal feet and place sorbothane (or half squash balls) under your equipment, vibration shouldn't be a problem. BTW vibration is far less a problem to modern AV amplifiers and dvd players - I have never seen any degradation in sound and picture - such as you would see with sensitive stereo equipment. If you find a cupboard guy, you will be surprised at just how good a self designed unit can look. Regards Anthony [/QUOTE]
