I was aware my speakers were far away so tried to think of a way to solve it.

Solution being hiding my Techs as i was concentrating a lot on CDJ's..

I then ended up with this:

And my 'studio' area (Now have a RME Babyface in place and soundproofing under my VXT's):

Hi mate what tabletop did you use to get yourself the extra depth on top of the expedits? looking to make an almost identical setup with similar shelves, but need the depth! thanks

1 - Lack Large Shelf
2 - Capita Brackets

Very inexpensive and based on the design i have planned and measured it (even ran it through an arquitect to see if it would hold). I'll post pictures once I have something up and running.

Did you ever get this built? I need something just like this and would love to see how yours turned out...

You cut into the Lack TV bench? Cool. I have the same unit and wanted to try it but was wondering how it would hold up.

The panels are really well engineered and are of a honeycomb type of construction and extremely strong and rigid. Even with the large sections I have cut out, the top doesn't really flex at all, however I do take care not to put any undo stress on the narrow sections if ever I need to remove it. Also, the supplied 'legs' that are designed to take the weight of a TV work well to hold the unit's shape.
