The story
The S3 takes the S2 footprint and upgrades the parts that matter most. The threaded aluminum pillars are filled with damping material so they neither ring nor store energy, and the shelves grow to 1.18 inches of laminated MDF, tested to 132 pounds each. Four pillars per level bolt together with stainless hardware. Spike feet and floor protectors are included.
The four-shelf rack is the one chosen most often: at 34.8 inches it places a turntable at a natural height and leaves three levels for electronics. Walnut shelves pair the black pillars with a wood-grain surface that sits comfortably beside furniture. Pole kits from 5.7 to 13.6 inches set the spacing for a tall tube amplifier or a slim streamer, and extra shelves add a level later.
