travelguy_73 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I haven't been able to find the 'perfect' low-rise modern media cabinet within my price range and wonder if having it made locally might be a better option. Anyone have recommendations for someone who could make one for me? I have *no* idea what something like this would cost...but I'll never know unless I ask! Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up finding a vintage mid century buffet recently and am very happy because everything is accessible while standing up plus i like the bonus storage space. So you like your components that low? I sure would get irritated changing CDs if it was that low! Not sure if you have a coffee table and have anything in on it. but if you're lying down on a sofa your field of view could be partially obscured.

It will actually be placed below a wall-mounted plasma (mounted around sitting height). I can't stand seeing the a/v equipment, so have all my music stored on my home theater pc (don't even have a CD player anymore), which will be behind one of the cabinet doors, along with everything else. My remote is RF-capable so I will be able to keep the doors closed all the time. I'm pumped! ETA: I found this on ebay, and the price is OK. Of course shipping is a nightmare and I'm sure there is a place reserved in Hell for those who remove the legs from collectible furniture, LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=63564&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"m a big audiophile and still prefer a CD quality over MP3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
