Quadraspire SVTL 4-Shelf HiFi Rack

The Quadraspire SVTL 4-Shelf HiFi Rack in black is the large-shelf SVT in its most common configuration: four slotted, solid bamboo shelves, 25.4 x 22.0 inches each, on curved aluminum columns spaced 10.1, 10.1 and 8.5 inches from the bottom up, all in black. It is ready to order as it stands, made in Britain by Quadraspire, and every part of it can still be changed in our rack builder if your gear needs different spacing.

Key Features of the Quadraspire SVTL 4-Shelf HiFi Rack

• A Larger Slotted Shelf: 25.4 x 22.0 inches of black bamboo ply, 2.2 inches wider and 3.5 inches deeper than the SVT.
• Solid Aluminum SV Columns: 32 mm curved columns made from solid aluminum, not tube, to dissipate energy quickly.
• Spacing for the Heavy Pieces: 10.1 inches above the bottom two shelves for power amps and tube amps, 8.5 inches above the third, and an open top shelf for a turntable.
• 175 lb Per Shelf: Each of the four levels is rated to 80 kg.
• Spikes Included: The bottom shelf sits 4.1 inches off the floor, and the rack is 35.6 inches tall overall.
• No Parallel Lines: Curved shelves and columns avoid the parallel surfaces that encourage resonance, the same idea behind most musical instruments.
• Made in Britain: Quadraspire has built its racks in England since 1995.

Who Is Quadraspire?

Quadraspire is a British maker of hi-fi furniture, founded in 1995 and now building racks in Hallatrow, England. Their argument is simple: what you place your hi-fi on affects how it performs. Quadraspire picks every material and shape to reduce resonance, with the stated goal of lowering the noise floor and opening up the soundstage.

Who Needs the SVTL?

The SVTL is for components that do not fit an SVT shelf. Between its columns it gives you 540 x 455 mm (21.3 x 17.9 in), against 477 x 368 mm (18.8 x 14.5 in) on the SVT, so a wider or deeper component has room to sit between the columns. The materials, the slotted shelf pattern and the 80 kg rating are the same as the SVT.

Why the Materials Matter

Each SVTL shelf is solid bamboo ply, which Quadraspire uses because it is strong and suppresses vibration where materials like glass resonate (it is also carbon neutral).

The columns and feet are solid aluminum rather than tube, because a hollow tube can ring while solid aluminum dissipates energy quickly.

Shelves and columns are curved so the rack has as few parallel lines as possible, since parallel lines encourage standing resonance.

The Spacing, Shelf by Shelf

From the floor up, this rack uses columns of 256, 256 and 216 mm, which is 10.1, 10.1 and 8.5 inches of clear space. The two lower shelves take the power amp or tube amp, the third has room for a tall integrated or a small tube amp, and the top shelf is open, so a turntable lid lifts all the way. On its spikes the SVTL stands 35.6 inches tall.

Build Your Own SVTL

This rack is one way to build an SVTL. In our builder you pick one to seven shelves, the space above each, one of four bamboo finishes, black or silver columns, and spikes, flat feet, floor protectors or casters. It draws the rack to scale and prices it as you go, and Mike can check the design before you order.

Here is the SVTL in the other three bamboo finishes. Tap one to open the builder in that finish.

Build Your SVTL

Add a Matching SVTL Amp Stand

Big amplifiers are the reason most people choose the SVTL, and some of them end up on the floor. The Quadraspire SVTL Amp Stand is one SVTL shelf on spikes in the same black finish, and adding one or two with this rack takes about 10% off each stand.
