To satisfy my own needs, I set out to build my own rack one that would enhance the performance of my audio system while satisfying the sense of aesthetics I had developed in the over three decades I had been producing furniture and building fine custom homes. Their aesthetics (or lack thereof) limited them into what environments they could happily co-exist. But, they weren't what I was really looking for. I could tell that from a sonic and isolation standpoint, these racks performed at a very high level. These were distinguished by hi-tech, ultra-contemporary aesthetics and extremely high costs. Looking further, I found true "audiophile" racks. Everything was rigidly connected together. I saw that the problem with all those designs was that they provided no true isolation between the spaces within the shelf or isolation between the different heights of shelves.
Here were solid wood frames with the shelves connected directly to it. "Shaker" style furniture was also being marketed as a kind of equipment rack. To me, these seemed minimalistic and quite spartan looking. I also found metal-framed designs with solid wood shelves laid on the frame.
These designs did nothing to enhance the performance of my electronics and had little aesthetic value. The industry offered cookie cutter type of rack systems that did provide a place to put ones components, but little else. Kanso came into being through my personal quest for a better audio rack.
