Introduction

The Audiav Crystal C4 A/V rack was one of the easiest racks I have assembled and certainly the sturdiest. With respect to build quality, adjustment flexibility, and aesthetics, this rack is without peer in its price class. While this rack is by no means inexpensive, I can tell you that whoever claimed "it’s inexpensive to be hip and trendy" is, in fact, neither. If you have the funds and a virtually bullet proof, ergonomic, cost no object A/V rack is what you are looking for, then I suggest you strongly consider a rack system from Audiav.
