The Salamander Archetype 5.0 is $290 at Music Direct.

A friend has a pair of the Salamander Archetype racks that he modified with outrigger feet, and damping layers laminated to the shelves. The Salamander seems to be a go to rack, combining good function, and support at a very reasonable price. 

I've recently moved my system to a much better sounding room in my house, and I intended to get the Salamander Archetype, but thinking more about it, I didn't think my wife would be happy with the threaded support posts, and exposed hardware.

So I checked with my favorite local small hifi shop, and discovered Quadraspire Q4 Evo. It's double the cost, and I don't know exactly how it will perform, but it has a less industrial look that my wife might not hate forever. It'll be a few weeks before it gets here, and then I can report back. Mean while, the hifi shop owner has loaned me a spare rack until the Quadraspire gets here. Don't know if BestBuy would do that.
