Stylish storage

This stand from the Sanus Accurate Series has a contemporary, modernist look. It sports a black lacquer finish and a heavy-gauge steel frame for rock-solid stability.

The top shelf can support a TV weighing up to 200 lbs. The middle shelf is completely open — ideal for a sound bar or center channel speaker. The bottom shelf has a middle pillar dividing it into two 18-1/2”-wide open compartments. The lower shelves can support up to 200 lbs. each.

Additional features

The built-in feet are adjustable, ensuring you can level the rack after placement. Cable management paths keep wires and cords out of sight despite the open design.

Featured review

Very well built and the shelves are strong. assembly only took about 20 minutes and it looks awesome in my basement! I spent weeks looking for a new rack and as soon as I saw this one I knew it was the right one.

Do they sell extension poles for the upper shelf? The ones that come with this unit are 7.25" stock - not quite big enough. Looking for an 8 or 9 inch option.

Hey Melissa, those poles are designed as a fixed design and no extension replacements are designed for it.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
