#bdi_avion_8529 First saw this at Casa Life in Toronto,
But the price was a bit much for me at the time, so I Design one built it myself in a similar fashion.
If you have the money, these are Well Built. and Well thought out.
Airflow and cable management is all there for those with lots of gear.
The Espresso colour was what they had on the floor there too... Very nice. not sure if the other colour they had works with as many modern docors these days.

#bdi_avion_8529 I bought one of these a couple months ago from http://www.dynamichomedecor.com and I could not be happier with it. The build quality is outstanding and the ventilation for my equipment is top notch! My receiver runs nice and cool inside and my wife likes the fact that the center channel speaker is hidden away....

#bdi_avion_8529 I saw the Espresso version at a furniture store in Toronto this weekend, and it's very nice. The fold-out center channel drawer is a nice feature. If style is important to you in your home theater, then consider this cabinet.

#bdi_avion_8529 If you're spending big bucks (5-10K+) on a home theater, it only makes sense to get a good piece of furniture to house it all. The Avion line (and a lot of the BDI products) have a lot of good features while maintaining a nice look. Worth consideration...
