Recommended Furniture/shelving for XPA series amps?

[badz]

I've had a little bit of trouble finding a spacious enough vertical stand/piece of furniture that can handle the dimensions & weight of my XPA3 and I was curious what does everyone here on the boards use?  

I'm not looking for a rack (Middle Atlantic etc), but more of a piece of furniture that will sit in plain sight next to my TV stand.

Thanks!

I use a Salamander Design Synergy models, I have S40 which I use to have my XPA-1's, and I use a Tripple S20, which houses my XPA-5 at the moment.

In addition to the original question I have one to add to the thread. Does anyone have some recommendations for a rack that not only can handle the weight of the amps but is also stable enough for a turntable on top?

I use a Salamander synergy rack (the tallest one) with a turntable on top.

That appears to be similar. I bought mine 4 years ago and I don't think they still offer exactly what I have. That said; it's probably the successor to my product (different) name as the dimensions seem the same.

What I did to save out of pocket cost is that I bought mine by section; base, and 2 shelves (instead of the base and 3 shelves shown on the site). This cut the cost by about $100 which I then used to get the 2 sets of 12" pipes. My amps never get more than warm but I didn't want to chance the airflow. The difference between the standard and 12" pipes allowed me to go from less than an inch to several inches of gap.
