Vintage MCM credenza. The main rig sits on top, but the tuner, cassette deck and HDCD player all reside in the cabinet. The drawers on the left are great for all sorts of hi-fi goodies /accessories. Having a cabinet to support all my gear might not be the most audiophile solution, but it hides the cables nicely and is good for domestic harmony.
Think of the dusting…I haven't purchased one yet, but I'm thinking about one of these to replace my Quadraspire SV2T

I outsource dusting thankfully!Think of the dusting…
Nice setup. Amp looks like a JVC AX-Z1010TN? What is the Turntable and the rest of the kit?
I've been looking into hi-fi cabinets myself recently, trying to find something off-the-shelf that would be wide enough to accommodate 2 460 mm boxes side-by-side, and at least 450 mm deep without costing a fortune. I didn't find anything suitable. It occurred to me however that a kitchen base unit is the perfect size. As standard they are approximately 720 mm high (excluding the plinth), and 560 mm deep, including the rear void for pipework. A 1000 mm wide kitchen base unit, with the rear void cut off to give a 500 mm total depth and the top and sides dressed up with some kitchen end panels should produce a nice hi-fi cabinet. I might also make a face frame and add some overlapping sliding glass doors.
This solution is quite cost effective and versatile. For example the rear void could be left to hide cables or power strips, or you could cut the cabinet down in height. They also have the holes pre-drilled for adjustable shelving.
I have just remodelled my lounge and have used kitchen units for my hifi. I have used 3 off 800 wide units in a 2400 alcove with handleless doors in matt graphite grey, with solid walnut 27mm worktop. other than the TT on the top, the only visible cables are the speaker cables, which exit from holes at either end of the plinth.
I'll post some pics later.
We are very pleased with how tidy it all is compared to the previous racks. I do have to leave the doors ajar in the unit containing the amp and preamp, for heat dissipation and for the remote to work.
Sounds ideal and I am impressed with your thinking, but white only ?
You won't get any likes from the cabinet snobs though.
