TONE STYLE
Quadraspire SVT Rack
$449 - $579/shelf
www.soundorg.com
With equipment racks fetching
five figure pricetags,
where do you draw the line
in the sand? We think a great
rack should be modular, flexible,
easily reconfigurable, tastefully
styled and help the gear upon it to deliver
the sound it is capable of.
Quadraspire racks are hand built by
British craftsmen in the city of Bath – a
great place to visit should the mood
ever strike you. It’s a tribute to running
a tidy organization, that they can build
such a great product, offer great service
and pay their employees a living wage,
yet still price their racks competitively.
Almost infinitely modular, the SVT
shelves are available in veneered MDF
as you see here, or for even better vibration
control, in bamboo, and have
six different column sizes available from
4 inches tall to 12 ¾ inches tall. This
makes for easy mixing of shelf heights,
and only a minimal expense to expand
or contract the rack as different components
come and go. This flexibility also
allows the option to purchase single
shelves as amplifier stands, giving you
only the number of shelves you need
– and the SVT also has a double wide
option for home theater/large flat screen
TV use.
Quadraspire claims that these
shelves will hold 264 pounds each, so
we will be putting them to the test with
our four box Pass Xs300 monoblocks.
We’ll report back to let you know what
gives out first; our back, the floor or the
SVT! However for those with more realistic
shelving needs, this is a wonderful
rack indeed.

more expensive processors to shame.”
