Quadraspire SVTL HiFi Racks

What you place your HiFi on will affect its performance. Placing your HiFi on a Quadraspire performance HiFi rack will help reduce resonance, lower the noise floor, and open the soundstage to make your HiFi sound even better.

The SVTL is the deeper-shelf sibling of the SVT — same 32mm (1.26") curved solid-aluminum SV columns, same solid bamboo-ply shelves, same 80kg (176 lb) per-shelf rating, with a larger shelf footprint that accommodates components too deep for the standard SVT shelf. It is the right choice when one or more boxes in the system — a long-chassis amplifier, a transport with a deep mechanism, a streamer with rear-mounted heatsinks — need more shelf depth than the SVT provides. Available in 2-5 shelf configurations.

Main Features

Solid Bamboo Ply. Some shelf materials, like glass, resonate and can distort the sound of your system. As a result of extensive testing, Quadraspire uses solid bamboo ply that suppresses vibrations and is also carbon neutral. Available bamboo finishes: Natural, Dark, Cherry, and Black.

Solid Aluminum Columns, 32mm (1.26"). Steel tube can resonate and distort sound. Aluminum has much less resonance, so Quadraspire uses it for all columns and feet — solid, not tubular, to dissipate energy quickly. The SVTL's 32mm (1.26") SV columns are available in Black or Matt Silver, in heights of 100mm (3.94"), 140mm (5.51"), 180mm (7.09"), 216mm (8.50"), 256mm (10.08"), and 326mm (12.83").

Larger Shelf Footprint. The defining difference between the SVTL and the standard SVT is shelf size — the SVTL's deeper shelves accommodate components that exceed the SVT's shelf depth. The structural architecture is the same; the platform is larger.

Designed to Avoid Parallel Lines. Parallel lines on rectangular shelves encourage resonance which can distort sound. Where possible, Quadraspire avoids parallel lines in the same way as most musical instrument designs.

80kg (176 lb) per Shelf. Each SVTL shelf is rated for up to 80kg (176 lb) — same per-shelf weight capacity as the SVT, on a larger platform.

Footer Options. The SVTL can be specified with spikes, flat feet, or castors, with an optional bronze upgrade for the feet — bronze and brass dissipate vibration in the same way they ring well in musical instruments.

Each rack is built to order. The shelf count is selected at purchase below; the wood finish, column color, footer style, and column height are configured through Quadraspire's Build-and-Price tool, or by speaking with us directly. For standard-depth shelves at the same per-shelf weight rating, see the SVT. For heavier per-shelf weight ratings, see the SV2T (160kg / 353 lb per shelf) and SV3T (240kg / 529 lb per shelf). Designed and built in England by Quadraspire, since 1995.
