i'm skeptical that your wood floor can handle the pounds per square inch of the feet of the Nothing Rack + AS-2000 without some unpredictable deflection. whether it's deformation of the wood, or the support beneath, i'd recommend some consideration before it's all in place. if those wood slats are directly over concrete maybe you are ok. but maybe not. if it's directly over concrete i would think about cutting out the wood in that area to get directly onto the hard surface.
once it's in place and deflects (each footer will not deflect equally) it will be hard to fix it.
I already had a re-inforcement beam installed with a 30,000lb load capacity. There will be no floor bowing or deformation. It runs right underneath the equipment area/right speaker. The flooring is 1” oak on top of 1” plywood (radiant heated floor) which sits on the floor joists. Perhaps a floor plate will be in order. I can always take the top plate from my herzan AVI table unit and put the AS/AS Stand on top of that. The steel plate would disperse the feet loads more evenly.

1" Oak over your added beam will likely be sufficient i would think. the Nothing Rack feet are wide enough with wood that dense there will be no deformation of the wood unless it's flexing below, and the beam should handle that. if you add the other plate then the floor and plate can have their own issues.....still dependent on the under support.
i think you have a good plan, sorry to throw that out there without reading the rest of the thread.
Vinyl now spinning. Second shot is the 24’ ceilings. Headroom used to be 8 ‘. Music fully blooms now before hitting the ceiling barrier. Taped area for AS2000.

considering the ddk influence, the odds are higher going to horns, which would also play more to that room than dynamic cones. the only drawback is that big horns would block the view. but less so than lowered window coverings.
my ceilings in my family room and living room are 26' tall; i have an extension pole with a suction tip that works fine. dropped one bulb in 14 years and it did not break even.

I understand and have seen those extension poles which work best if the bulbs are below rather than above the fixture which these are . I can't see that working for Christian
If you have the original plans it would tell you what weight the subfloor is built to tolerate
In my neck of the wood the standard for residential floor is 40-50 lbs/sq foot and about 80 lbs/sq foot for industrial.
Like Christian I have very heavy equipment and we have the same speakers. When I built my room on the second floor over my living I wanted to take no chances that there would never be a problem and my sub floor was designed to support 1500 lbs/sq foot
A mechanical engineer can easily give you good advice if you need additional support in the room t
The Lamm power supplies are in the rack under RTR deck. Each on their own damped steel shelf, so they are happy. Nothing like space conserving Lamm components The gain stage doesn’t have a home until David’s rack arrives or I use it on the floor.
