    Can anyone point me in the direction of a company that makes large capacity (1500+) CD storage towers?

    No, but there are options out there. Curious as to, why "towers"?

    Are you opposed to spinning towers?

    I too am interested in this. Space is limited in my room and for now I'm just using these "drawers" that are the right width for one CD case so double discs and such fit fine. My concern with a tower is how oddly shaped or double-discs work. That said, I think I have around 70 CDs right now and expect I'll have far more in the next few years, so having room to grow is critical. The space concerns are leading me to a "tower" design as well, and a spinner sounds interesting.

    Was never a huge fan of the tower design. I have one still, about 3 feet high that holds a couple hundred CDs and spins. I got it second hand for very little money.

    Before I converted the bulk of my collection to Jazzloft Sleeves and RUB 3L boxes, I had a set of Boltz-USA CD Racks. I think each rack could hold 400 CDs or so at full capacity. Those were nice racks and didn't take up too much space.

    I had the same issue many years ago. My solution was to RIP all my CD's to FLAC and store them away forever. Once the initial project was completed it was a simple matter of ripping new CD's as a purchased them.

    If you want a small footprint like I required and not cost prohibitive it is the best option going IMO Cory. Top it off with a high WAF because the ones I went with look like real wood.

    That may be a good option then for the OP- if they ship to Anchorage.

    My solution also. I just moved into a much larger listening room and am thinking of bringing them back out for display. It might be a means of filling up the empty walls.

    I was going to suggest the same. I have 7 myself. They look pretty good and the price is decent as well. I thought they were an ideal budget wise solution. There's a hack available online which shows you have to eliminate one of the side walls so it looks more like one single large unit, if you're inclined to do the work, which I wasn't.

    The boltz racks are nice as well but they cost a lot more: CD Floor Rack & Shelving (CD-1800) | Boltz Steel Furniture
