On the up side for me, I'll be having a custom cabinet to put my toys in before long. Unlikely my current cabinet, it's wide enough to fit two standard rack mount items (i.e. amps) side by side, the shelving is better spaced (9" between them), and ventilation should be adequate (metal mesh on the front doors and a 4"x36" piece of metal mesh at the top back). Unlike most of the stuff commercially available, it's also deep enough to fit the 19" deep Emotiva amplifiers. And of course its black so that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb next to my black speakers. That last bit alone should improve the sound quality of my system dramatically
