art of SOUND - NEO HIGH END Hi-FI Racks

NEO - Your equipment is beautiful. It deserves a beautiful rack.

 

NEO High End Hi-Fi Racks will always be dear to my heart - it was the reason to start this whole distribution thing in the first place! It was borne out of frustration with a distributor who seemed uninterested in passing on client feedback to a manufacturer about their product's quality control (brand and distributor will remain anonymous) - what started as a supposed apology ended up with the comment "But IF you didnt sell BRAND X, what could you possibly sell?". It was those words that led to an 18 month journey to find a rack brand that offered impeccable build quality with attention to detail but equally was prepared to take on feedback.  After a few false starts and the assumption that somebody would've already found them, I struck up an immediate rapport with NEO's founder, Štefan Baniar. Anyone fortunate to see these racks so far in the flesh will attest to the quality they offer and with a high level of customisation (including any RAL colour in addition to real wood options), there is a solution for every scenario. 
So, the "official" blurb from our website:-

 

"NEO HIGH END offers a range of beautiful bespoke audio racks available in various styles and are fully customisable. NEO was formed in 2002. At the beginning, the company’s main activity was interior design and production of design accessories.
After some years carving a successful career in interior design, their portfolio has narrowed to the production and distribution of luxury audio racks under the NEO brand.
The idea of making functional high-end audio racks came from combining two things - love of music and design.
Technical innovations, constructions and the use of special materials place NEO’s products in the reference category in the Hi-Fi and High-end audio sector."

 

Current RRP pricing is available from our website and it will find its way into key dealers throughout the country in the second half of 2022.

Unfortunately with the cost of raw materials increasing all the time, coupled with the war on Slovakia's doorstep, its a little sad to report that all new NEO orders generated from tomorrow, April 1, pricing will increase by 25% across the range.

New price lists will be published on our website overnight to reflect the changes.

Hi Rob,

The top four shelves are "Palisander", the bottom four are "Pommele Mahogany" and the far four are "Indian Apple Tree".

I have wood envy! In my work I have bought many different types of wood, and these guys clearly have great suppliers, because this is as good as wood gets tbh. Going by what I pay, just one of these pieces of wood be worth hundreds.

You do realise these are veneers over a substrate material so not solid timber.

No, I wasn't aware or thinking that when I posted. That makes a lot more sense and I feel silly for not noticing/realising. Most people doing slab type construction probably use veneers. I've watched videos by a guy in England who makes very exxy turntable plinths and he uses it, but we're talking 6 or so inches thick plinths.
 

I was probably just thinking about my own practice, where I've never used them, not that I have anything against veneer, it just hasn't happened. It is a good way to get an amazing look (at a not crazy price) though. Often times you can't even buy thick slabs of the most attractive woods. I will actually look into it now, because while I have had some attractive wood slabs over the years, they're nowhere near as good as some of the examples posted here.

 

It's also what's available locally. I think all the examples of exotic woods I've ever seen for sale locally, are small to very small sizes. So you're restricted in that sense.
