If said friend can afford an interior designer. He might wish to pass on said wall floating unit | consider costumed sized racks or stands, as a proponent of mass loaded devices ( racks | stands | speaker stands ) I've been using Sound Anchors stands since 1993, to date having owned 7 different customized versions ( 3 speaker stands | 4 amp stands ) of which were specifically designed with the overall dimensions of whichever speakers were being used at said period | being that I had long ago measured my ideal listening height to have the tweeters of said speakers located within a mm of ear placement.

The nice thing about the amp stand was I'd always have them sized according to a depth of say 16-19" where many standard racks or stands aren't built to accommodate deeper equipment | as I believe in one's gear living closer to the floor as to avoid standing wave reflections from interacting with the speakers | more often than not, I've said stands built at a total height of either 10-11.5" high | between 26-42" wide depending upon I wish to set the equipment on it?.

As it load beads the equipment from its surroundings | eliminates different forms of resonance from within | I just can't justify wanting to own anything less | being a mini-monitor lover by choice as opposed to necessity, I've always felt their costumed sized | height stands have always allowed my speakers to be heard in their truest form...-, posted above is a photo of my simplistic based system, as it stood a few years ago, to offer you a rough ideal of what I'm getting at.

As I view it..., buy once and be done with it, select the wrong item and find yourself buying twice or more and wasting money and time, besides it's rare on sized rack fits all | have it custom built should be seen as essential, no?.
