I am currently looking at this tv stand

only thing i worry about is will i need to have doors open when using equipment because of heat

You can cut ventilation holes into the back. For additional cooling you can install a PC fan and have it vent the air out.

I think even with holes in the back and a fan you will be in trouble.

All that amount of electronics will need flow through ventilation. I think you will need a van and need to keep the doors open.

I think you need much more space around the units.

Another thing, for $285 just imagine what that thing will be made of. I bet it will be half fallen apart by the time you have it assembled. I bet that will be a sub Target piece of gear and that's saying something.

I picked up this fan setup. This kit comes with two fans, variable speed controller and AC converter. Plug it in and your done. Simple. Quiet. Effective. You can buy extra fans and run up to four on the controller in the kit.

TLSGuy... Did you look at the specs? Shipping weight is 89lbs. This is by no means cheap furniture.

This is what we are using for our home audio in our living room and we are very pleased and satisfied. Price is $269.99 from Crutchfield.



Shipping weight on ours was 85lbs. Once this was put together and I installed our equipment, this has made the perfect addition to our living room and looks like real furniture. If you are concerned that this and OP's furniture will resemble something you buy from WalMart, KMart, or Target to put together that will last 3-4 months and fall apart, these two are furniture quality pieces that will last you as long as your furniture will last...

Everyone's mileage will vary.

Thanks for the replies.

I was thinking if I can find some fans that run off of 120V i can use the switched outlet on the back of the marantz so they will only turn on when the amp is on.

I was thinking of placing the fans like in the attached image, as long as the middle shelf is not touching the door which i am sure it is back some.

What do you think

Shopping for HomeTheaterCooling.com

$58 for a single fan with built in thermostat, $108 for two. They run on 120V, so no wall warts.

Other affordable cooling options as well. I have two, one in each side cabinet of my TV stand.

Professional Quiet Fan - HomeTheaterCooling.com

$37 each, $70 for two.

Almost forgot, for $12 you get a hole saw and a prepaid shipping label to send it back. Makes installation a breeze.
