The A21 won't fit my equipment rack! - olddude55 15:10:26 03/29/14 (2)
Not because it's too tall but it's too deep by several inches. I'd have to rest it on the bottom cover.
I DIY'ed my own rack and sized the shelves to match the turntable. The Emotiva XPA-200 is 19 inches deep and overhangs the shelf at both ends, but it still sits on it's feet.

  I think it's always better to give a powerful amplifier more ventilation room than it would otherwise have if placed in an equipment rack. It's also good to separate magnetic fields caused by large transformers from other line-level equipment in the rack.

  - The shelves on mine are adjustable. - olddude55 16:54:32 03/29/14 (0)
    I can create enough airflow for just about anything. The big Emotiva amp would have fit just fine if I felt like wrestling 80 pounds of amplifier around. Probably would have needed a floor jack.
    As it is, the XPA-200 has about ten inches of space between it's top cover and the bottom of the shelf immediately above it. It never even gets warm.
    Nothing I can do about the depth, though and no other options other than getting my neighbor to build something.

Aren't you all a bit OT?

  Maybe your friend should consider Parasound instead of Emotiva. ;-)

    Definetly not a Emotiva :) !
    What is really strange how a company reacts when a customer needs a answer...
    Probably they are hiding some problems with the XPR-1
