Bang & Olufsen made some terrible sounding speakers with aluminum cabs.

These certainly look nice, but those B&O's sounded so bad, looking at these triggered my gag reflex.

I'll second that, never heard one speaker from them that I could live with.

if you lined them with dynamat it might be better.
someone is selling a set, probably the owner of the company.

The Polk RM10, 20, 30, 40 and SB42 & SB50 all have aluminium cabinets (rear aluminium front plastic) and sound good. I personally feel better with an aluminium enclosure than plastic. BTW; the tower looks like (similar) some DIY kit offered by parts express http://www.parts-express.com/projectshowcase/indexn.cfm?project=Colossi

Aside from them both being line arrays how do they look alike?

Reflections coming off those things in an HT environment would be JUST a bit distracting.

Those speakers belong in the home of a 1980's coke dealer. :biggrin:

That's a good one!! I think they could probably retrofit a DeLorean with those...but they'd have to upgrade the cabinets to STEEL grade! lol

Well it was already stated that B&O and the Polk RM series were aluminum.

Actually B&O makes most of there speakers with aluminum cabs. I think the BEOLAB 1's are the speakers you guys are talking about. They sounded pretty bad.

Here is a pic of the culprits.
