Solidsteel · S5 Series · Made in Italy
The S5 adds what the S3 leaves out: a decoupled isolation platform on every shelf, so each component rests on its own level instead of sharing the frame. Two to five levels.
Price is for one rack, with a platform on every shelf. Choose the number of shelves above.

The story
The S5 is built on the S3 frame: damped aluminum pillars, 1.18-inch laminated MDF shelves and stainless hardware. On top of each shelf sits a second, smaller platform decoupled from the frame, so a turntable, a tube amplifier or a DAC rests on its own isolated surface. It is a two-stage design in a rack that still looks like a simple set of shelves.
Each level is tested to 132 pounds. Pole kits for the S5 are 20 millimeters longer than their nominal size to allow for the platform height, and the S5 X Shelf and TX Shelf add inner or top levels with their own platforms.

We deliver and install throughout the Portland area, taking care of placement, connections, ventilation and system configuration ourselves.
We support everything we sell for as long as you own it, whether the answer comes by phone, in your home, or through factory service.
Trade-in assistance and qualifying 100% Trade-Up options give you flexibility when your listening priorities or your system change.
