I am getting ready to purchase the new 36" Sony XBR-450 TV with matching silver stand. My problem relates to getting a rack for the other equipment that matches the silver and black Sony TV and Rack. Anyone have any suggestions?Thanks... Paul
Follow Ups:
Hold out for the 40" set (40xbr700) which has a stand available.
Bigger is better.
I have the same tv and I have the same problem. You are better off buying an after market rack or stand. Finding it in silver may be a problem. After two months I have not come across any with multiple shelves. By the time you add a few vcr's, dvd, receiver, converter, etc, you need at least six bays. I am going to make it myself.
Be cautious of the quality of mass market tv stands. I was in a department store today and saw some stands that had half fallen apart. Because they are melamine coated, they are just doweled together (you can not glue the melamine by it very nature). If the dowels come apart, you can be the first to post on the bouncing ability of Sony.
Cheap advice is if you buy a mass market stand, go to Home Depot and buy some small angle brackets, and #8 x 1/2" screws and reinforce those stands. How many brackets? 235 lbs and $2000 worth.
I wish I know how to post a drawing of the stand I am making. The quickie 3/4" mdf, two shelf unit I made holds three adult males (650 lbs) at minimum on top of it. Hey, I know it is not scientific, but it works. It only took two of us an hour to make.
If you want the design, ask and I will try to describe it as best as possible in a post. Stands are not complicated, but they better be well built.
When I bought my 32XBR100 I dumped on the SONY racks. Neither had castors. (Mitsu did!)I stopped at the local OAK Furniture outlet to buy a coffee table. To which I added castors.
The coffee table gives the right height for veiwing but no lower shelf for equipment.
Just as well .. all of my stack sits on a home-made JBL cabinet.
