Ahhh, the listening room has B&W 703's (A 3 way design with FST midrange & 2 bass drivers) whilst the living room has B&W CDM7NT's (A 2.5 design with mid-range and single bass driver).
I wouldn't like to carry those about all the time
; I'm faaaar too lazy for that :MILD: !

Two Ash Design racks in Rosewood, hmm can feel a self-Appreciation club coming on here. 
What are the layers between the transports and what CD racking is that, looks really nice BTW.

Thanks Philip
.Ash Design racks are v. nice, aren't they ?
Garyi (a fellow Z/G member) uses Ash as well. They also have great W.A.F. which is always handy.
The stuff between the transports is just some marble floor tiles I picked up cheap. I'm really just using them to seperate the units until the CDT-2 (on top) goes to it's new home.
The CD racking is from IKEA (I need more but have no room to put them up
.) and can be found here .They are very sturdy and suprisingly compact. Highly recommended
.I am saving for an Ash design, my floor is cherrywood, so it should match beautifully...
I would prefer the metal work in black, but they dont make it...
Also, they dont say the clearance between shelves, I need about 21 cms for the bottom and 16 for the top... :MILD:

Hmmmm, maybe the Cosmic 3 I have is a little tight for your needs as I have about 36cm of usable space [in total].
The Cosmic 4 has an extra 10/15cm of shelf space so that may be more appropriate for your needs.
And if you want the metal black........paint it :MILD:.

Hi Antonio,
After having a quick measure I'm not sure that they'll be enough clearance for you. I currently have a 24cm lower level and a 11cm upper one, with 1cm deep glass.
"21 cms for the bottom and 16 for the top... " looks like it mat not fit, sorry.
Worth mailing Ash and getting a more accurate answer though.
As an aside, you do get a customer service questionnaire when you purchase one with some odd questions on. e.g. Favourite super hero??

OK what i forgot to say is that i have the AV model, the hifi model will of course be able to meet your spec
The Cosmic 3 is the only possible solution, the 4 is too high and too narrow...
36 cms, if that doesnt include the shelves, its ok, the power I want is 17,5 cms, bottom shelf, and the processor is 14,4 cms, middle shelf, everything else is smaller, 2 cms clearance should be enough, as it is open all arround... :MILD:

Antonio, I think you may be mistaking the
Cosmic s4
Size: (HxWxD) 635 x 800 x 550mm
Glass size: (WxDxH) 670 x 500 x 10mm
with the Cosmic 4
Size: (HxWxD) 635 x 1100 x 550mm
Glass size: (WxDxH) 970 x 500 x 10mm
(Don't let all that NAIM gear put you off !)

!)You are right, I didn't see that wide one, still too high, I plan to put the large CC2 on top, and the plasma behind on a stand...
As I have the window behind, I should not make it too high, or I will ruin the living room...
I never heard any NAIM gear, just the wars over here, so it doesnt put me off, and it looks quite nice too, actually their center speaker is one of the nicest looking I have ever seen... :MILD:

Cookie forgot to mention his in-car system. I didnt have an opportunity for have that demo'd either, but I can confirm that he seems to prefer a nice light blue Pugeot rack to the cute black Mana that I have now sat his Denon 610 tape rack upon.
