Bassocontinuo Classic Line 2.1 Racks Released

Bassocontinuo's new Classic Line 2.1 A/V racks range is backed by independent lab testing.
Bassocontinuo's Classic Line 2.1 range of entry-level equipment supports directly replaces the previous Classic Line 2.0. Naturally, the latest range is still made in Italy but is said to offer improved aesthetics and performance over its predecessor.
Bassocontinuo's Classic Line 2.1 was designed to be versatile range and fully modular, enabling you to tailor the rack to your requirements as well as being able to add extra levels as your system grows. Furthermore, the Italian company's goal was to offer the new range at an affordable price while still offering impeccable technical features.
The five-strong Classic Line 2.1 comprises both hi-fi and A/V racks, plus turntable wall shelves and power amp platforms, in a range of leg heights from 90 mm to 290 mm. Accommodating the wide-ranging and diverse dimensions of today's audio equipment, the Classic Line 2.1 offers additional shelf-height adjustment, achieved by the inspired use of removable leg cylinders. Five and ten-centimetre cylinders are available separately to seamlessly adjust shelf height if needed.
The Classic 2.1 line's 'zero-shaking' clamp system, we're told, brings improved stability compared to the previous design. Further features include a cosmetic tie-rod cover made of Delrin and a new spike design with a stabilising washer for fine-tuning. Moreover, the Classic 2.1 line has been thoroughly tested by an independent laboratory in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano, boasts the manufacturer.
In addition to Bassocontinuo's standard Cerbero Black and Iside White finishes, the company has added Walnut and Wenge, to complement the loudspeakers of fellow Italian brand, Sonus faber. Meanwhile, the legs are available in dark grey, milky white and silver. The shelves are 25 mm thick with a load capacity from 60 kg.
The Classic 2.1 line is available now, priced from £440 per tier, each of which comes with a five-year guarantee.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
