halvis, that's a great neat looking system, but if I'm not mistaken the EXPEDIT is in danger of sideways collapse when placed that way. It may only be a risk with the bigger ones, so apologies if I'm being alarmist.

Thanks for your concern. It does appear to be sturdy and has not given me any cause for concern yet.

I will check it out though.

Hi Barry,how're you getting on with the 40's now? Has the Atc amp sorted your problems with them?
Still loving the 19's especially with TP Pre and 100 mono blocks!
Regards Andrew.
 
Elephantears is correct to express concern about the orientation of the Expedit unit. By placing the unit on it's side, all that's supporting the weight of the LPs is those dowel things whereas when placed tall way up, the load bearing is done by the base of the unit and floor. If it seems sturdy, then fair enough, but the way it is just now, the load bearing is done by the weakest link as it were and rather you than me. :)

Gotcha, I will move most LPs to the bottom as an interim measure. I do have a proper hifi rack, but don't have room for it and the LPs in the same room at the moment. Many thanks for explaining.

Gromit - that's just showing off :-0. Very nice!

Combination of wood, leather, great drivers and crossovers = Pure sex and sound.

In the larger Expedits, if placed the correct way up, the loading of each shelf is supported by the 3 or 4 verticals that divide the spaces below it, as well as the dowels at each end.

All that's needed with one illustrated above is to add some support internally to each of the lower cubes. Any piece of wood or dowel cut to the internal height of the cube, and placed vertically therein will do it, perhaps at the rear, to be hidden by the LPs. There's no need to brace the upper cubes, as there's little or no load transferred from the top member.

Some diagonal bracing on the rear, with thin metal or wood strips might be wise. This will prevent sideways deformation. Either that or a single piece of plywood, screwed or nailed around the perimeter and to the internal shelves.
 
Glad your enjoying the 19s Andrew the ATC amp once run in just gives that
Extra level of depth to the 40s my other amp couldnt I feel .
Next I may mod the Orbe or get an new AV amp and rear speakers or maybe
Even an ATC Sub
 
Why your not after a set of 40s are you ;)
The only thing letting it down is the sub on the
A/V side before it was ok but now the 40s go as
Low as my Kef Sub does, so really I need a small
Sub which can go lower than them
I'm using Kef eggs for my rears only as space is very
Limited other wise it would be some ATCs :)
