Atacama have outdone themselves with the Apollo Storm 6, winning a 5-star review from What Hi-Fi? with their first solid oak hi-fi rack.
The Storm 6 is not only a solid oak hi-fi rack, because it also features Atacama's isolated construction. The addition of isolation makes this rack perfect for reducing the ambient vibrations within your system and improving overall performance while stylishly containing your equipment.

Please Note:
- Base price is for the base shelf.
- The minimum you can purchase is one shelf + base.
- Shelf Height is the internal leg height for that shelf section.
Here's what Atacama say about the Apollo Storm 6
The all-new, 5 stars What Hifi? Sound & Vision Magazine award-winning (January 2018) British made solid Oak Apollo Storm 6 modular hi-fi support makes a stunning centerpiece for displaying, supporting and isolating hi-fi equipment in the home.
Each shelf module is precision cut on a CNC machine to ensure consistency of fit and performance, then hand finished by dedicated craftsmen to enhance the visual appeal of the Natural wood.
The Atacama Apollo Storm 6 is not just an attractive piece of furniture; it has primarily been designed to maximize the performance of hi-fi equipment supported upon it.
With a choice of two leg colours, four storage heights and manufactured out of warp-resistant 27mm solid hardwood composite wood for strength and resonance absorption, each of the individual modules legs feature three additional levels of isolation.
First, a polymer isolation disc separates the outer leg collar from the wood forming a barrier between each of the wood and outer leg components. The second line of isolation is the leg spike cap. This too is a polymer construction, so the leg outer collar is completely isolated from residual sonic feedback present when playing music. Inside each of the leg spike caps, a press fit brass screw thread has been inserted (brass being chosen for its slow energy proliferation speed) with the third and final level of isolation has been achieved with the use of fully adjustable 8mm Bright Zinc Plated steel spikes and matching lock nuts.

Please Note: Oak is a natural material, so block colour variation, knots and grain texture is part of the intrinsic beauty of this hi-fi support. Every module is aesthetically unique and will darken over time as part of the woods aging process, especially if exposed to sunlight. This difference will be enhanced should you add new extra shelving at a later date, so where possible purchase your Apollo Storm as a complete matched set taking into account your future storage requirements.

Excellent service and great product.

I'm very pleased with this product which I purchased to replace my ugly old metal stand to improve the look of our living room.
This new stand has certainly done that, and my wife, who wasn't really sure about getting it, is now happy with it. I wasn't expecting any improvement in sonic performance as I had been content with my old stand in that respect but actually it has definitely improved the sound quality from my system. The Bass is now more solid, the treble is more detailed and the band has opened up.
The difference is not night and day, but it's definitely there. With my old stand I could hear a slight whining noise when spinning my Rega P3 turntable, it wasn't audible when the music was playing but could be heard when the music stopped. With my new stand, no whining noise is audible at all, so I assume that this must be due to improved isolation.
I was impressed by the service when making this purchase. I opted for free delivery, and two days after placing the order, I received a phone call from Atacama asking me when I would like the stand delivered. I requested the following day, for which I received a two-hour delivery window, and it arrived on time as promised.

Well made, easy to assemble hi-fi rack.

I purchased the base unit of the Apollo Storm 6 plus one additional shelf. The service from Futureshop was excellent.
The rack arrived well-packaged, high-quality, and easy to assemble. I had an Atacama Equinox some years ago, so I had a good idea of what to expect quality-wise. The Storm looks excellent in my living room, and I think that Atacama racks, in general, would look good in any home.
Another nice thing is the ability to add additional shelves as and when you require them. An Atacama rack can only be a beneficial addition to your hi-fi set-up.
Thoroughly recommended!

Right size, materials and looks. Any negative would be the very slightly rough finish to the wood. Personally, I would have preferred a smoother finish to the shelves. I can see a dust magnet in the future within the wood grain.
Very high quality product

I had to wait longer than expected for this product but completely understand why what with worldwide covid issues.
The product was very well packed and relatively easy to put together. Lovely quality and professional feel to the whole thing. Future Shop was very prompt in responding to my questions. Thank you.

Solidly constructed and easy to put together. You can specify different shelf spacing so measure your kit up to get the best combination of shelf sizes. I got three of the largest size which makes to top shelf a good height for my record deck.
Delivery was pretty quick, about 2 weeks rather than the specified 6 - 8 weeks. I went for oak to go with the existing furniture. As supplied the wood is quite "dry" and I therefore applied a couple of coats of a good quality wax furniture polish before assembly which I'm pleased I did as it makes a difference.
Audibly there is a small but definite improvement in sound with less resonance compared to my old unit. I've also added some rubber damping feet to my record deck which helped even more with the bass definition. Overall well satisfied.
