Love to see both aesthetically pleasing and great sounding room, congratulations!  

Since I am revisiting the isolation aspect of both my own systems, I am particularly interested in how you arrived at the "rack" solution. Can you elaborate on the glass (it looks like glass but I am not sure) plates, especially for the ARC amps as glass are seldom used in this kind of application.
