I am looking for suggestions for two wall mounted brackets and shelves that are not silly money. They need to be deep enough to hold my pre and power amps so 36cm deep by 43cm wide. I looked at invisible brackets mounted on the brick wall but the shelves would then need to be 35mm thick. Ideas welcome. A not too in your face regular bracket and laminate shelf (like on the tripod) would be ok.
This is why…
I’ve just added a subwoofer to my 172 , power amp and Linn Kans and it’s made an impressive difference.
I know have a furniture problem. To home the subwoofer I have to get rid of my Tripod racks, so now my power amp and 172 sit on top of the SW.
Build a rack that has enough clearance for the sub to sit under the bottom shelf or buy a rack with removable shelves that you can take a couple of the bottom shelves off would be one option.
You can get invisible wall mounts that can take thinner shelves or I made some out of a 20mm benchtop and just used a couple of 10mm Ramset anchors into the block wall - run a threaded bar into each anchor and then slide the shelf on. (Drill out the shelf to suit the bar diameter)
Use a cool looking U bracket to support both shelves and make the bracket a feature of the overall unit.
Search for “ladder turntable wall shelf” and follow the first option that looks hifi related. It’s a two shelf support that could hold both 172 and power amp.
Yes, I was thinking of a frame made from two L shaped sections, connected at the rear possibly made from steel or wood. Ideally I would be able to base it on something that already exists like a floor mounted TV stand. This almost fits the bill if there was a bigger gap between the two tables. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08XC7PJ4P/ref=sbl_dpx_uk-end-nesting-tables_B07VNPSTD4_0?th=1
That would appear to be the simplest option but I’d probablyt use an invisible bracket and 20mm thick shelves
I’m having trouble finding any that would fit the bill and self-manufacturing them is not an option.
I want to stay below £100 for both brackets.
Over budget I am afraid. I did look to see if non turntable options would be suitable but I was unable to find any.
That is easy, I tried the system with the SW off and it really does work well with the Kans by filling in the missing low frequencies.
The recycled kitchen tops were cut to size, drilled for the invisible brackets and shaped to allow cables behind. £100 for these including fitting.
4 x 250mm Brackets came to £27. Secure but the build quality was so-so. Welds were a bit too large and they needed to the straightened. From https://www.bespoakinteriors.co.uk
