Description
Why You Need Salamander Synergy Audio/Video Furniture Furniture designed for audio and video components is important because it incorporates features that improve the performance of your home theater system. Traditional furniture manufacturers do not take into consideration important aspects such as Ventilation, infrared passthrough for remote controls, and removable rear panels for component access, wire management and media storage.
The Synergy by Salamander Designs is a modern storage system for today’s home theater. Its innovative and award-winning design provides unparalleled flexibility with the design of tailored furniture systems. A full line of refined elements and accessories allows owners to fine-tune individual systems to keep pace with their growing requirements. A delicate balance of high-quality materials gives Synergy distinct form and function. Extruded aluminum posts provide the aesthetic and functional backbone of Synergy. The oversized hardwood shelves enhance its bold and beautiful appeal. An elegantly simple design is advanced by thoughtful details, such as optional flat-panel TV mounts, choice between caster wheels and designer cabinet feet, and easily-removable rear panels.
Features Found on Every Salamander Stand (Synergy 221 shown)
Removable Rear Panels are easily removable with four thumbnuts, providing component access and enclose the rear of each cabinet. Each panel is cut, so a 1 ½" opening can be positioned at the top or bottom--or split the difference to allow cable entrance or exit from the cabinet. This opening also allows airflow through the cabinet. Infinite Shelf Adjustability allows you to custom-fit your components while leaving ample space for ventilation. Interior shelves travel along aluminum posts to provide infinite adjustment. Shelves can hold up to 100 lbs. each. Perforated Steel Doors allow a convenient method of masking speakers and provide further flexibility by allowing either left- or right-hand opening. Our doors allow remote control signals to pass through while also ventilating your components.

Customer Reviews
Nice, but has many issues for the priceShawn
I took some time to find a new audio video rack for my small home theater I put together and was looking forward to receiving this rack. When the box arrived it wasn't damaged however when I opened the unit the shelves were placed in the box without any shipping material between the individual shelves. The result was that each shelf was scratched. I know that these will be hidden in the unit under the components but for the money I really wish they invested a few cents for packing material between each shelf. The next issue is that the unit did not arrive with assembly instructions. I had to utilize the instructions from the Salamander web site (PDF) file which did not include how the door attached to the unit (Its obvious though for anyone who has assembled furniture before though). The last issue is that the unit does not come with wheels, which I highly recommend doing (most new AV tuners are 60 pds alone + all the other component weights add up to something that would benefit from wheels). Wheels cost $$$ extra, they are nice but way over priced.

As those of you who are looking at this product probably know modern HD stereo equipment has outgrown the standard stereo cabinet. If you purchase a stereo cabinet at Target or similar stores that has 14" deep shelves, your 16" deep (without anything plugged into the back of it) receiver isn't really going to work. So, like me you have probably started looking at products that cost quite a bit more than you really wanted to pay. That being said, you will probably be happy with this product.I compared this product with products from Sanus and StudioTech. I frankly liked the StudioTech product the best...but it is the most expensive of the three products and is just a little too big to fit in the area that I had for it. So I was went with the ever so slightly smaller Salamander. Sanus has an excellent product as well, for me it came down to the fact that aesthetically I like the Salamander slightly better.I do have some problems with the Salamander Synergy:First of all, hop online and pickup the assembly directions that you can get from their webpage. The version on the webpage has a different series of steps that is MUCH easier for installing the door.Next up, the back-panel is purely there for looks...which is a good thing. Unlike cheaper systems, the structure of the entire cabinet is the four pillars, everything else is hung from those pillars sort of like how a sky-scraper is built. Once again, this is a good thing. The problem I had is that the back panel is attached the back pillars with screws. I highly recommend getting a pair of nuts to be placed between the pillars and the back panel.Read more ›
Great product, but poorly packaged hence arrived damagedLove-A-Deal
Since this item is fairly expensive for an A/V cabinet, you would expect that great care would be taken to protect the contents with cushioning to buffer it for ground shipment. The item arrived with a large hole punched through the surface of the box and damage to the contents was evident by peering through the hole. Amazon was excellent about sending out a replacement immediately. The second shipment arrived quickly, but it also had a hole in the box. This cabinet is quite heavy and should be wrapped well and contain filler to reduce damage caused within the box with things shifting about, as well as to protect it from rough handling in transit. Even some of the plastic straps had broken on the first box, so strong wrap on the exterior or at least reinforced tape over the straps might be needed. After reporting damage found to the second shipment, I was given the okay to see if I had one good one between the two shipments. I searched through both boxes and finally managed to make a nice cabinet with only a few minor flaws. The directions for assembly were adequate; however there is a protective film on one side of the shelves and sides that it fails to mention. The manufacturer confirmed this can be removed.
Just what I was looking for!Stevo
I had been looking for months for an audio rack for my new gear and wanted to wait till I found the perfect piece. This one holds everything I own, and with the perforated steel door panel, it keeps my system ventilated. I purchased an extended rear panel too, which makes room for a larger component, and the casters I bought make it easy to move. It's functionality and sleek design were just what I was looking for.
Well built with minor problemsPharmd09ray
This equipment rack is well built and by far the easiest piece of furniture I have ever had to assemble. Although it was straightforward it did take approximately 2 hours to complete from beginning to end. No part of this unit looks cheap or underdeveloped with one exception - the instructions. There was a typo and an omission for two metal bars and where they were supposed to go. Otherwise, I have nothing but positive things to say about the product. Would definitely buy again!
Quality you pay forJefferson
I consider user reviews a lot when making a large purchase like that and decided to "pay it forward" here. My cabinet arrived undamaged and in good time. I am fairly mechanically inclined and assembling it was not *difficult*. However, the instructions that I got do require some reading between the lines and things must be done in a certain order, so I experienced a couple moments of minor dismay. I am satisfied with the quality of this product, but I do think it is still overpriced, at least compared to things made in China. The list price of $900 is insane, especially considering that you have to assemble the thing yourself. However, I would buy another Salamander product (maybe a matching TV stand) if I could get a sufficient discount off the list price.
