    What is going on with that cabinet?

    Is this AI?

    Not AI. It is some guy from Eastern Europe who posted it on the Polk Audio Fanatics Facebook group. He claims to be a sound stage setup guy. I guess he really likes "big sound"

    I meant the cabinet the components are on/in. It looks like it’s about to collapse on itself with those angled supports.

    I was trying to figure out what that model was! At least they're not hung from the ceiling.

    If I had to guess, they look like the old Onkyo Amps, I actually have one that's chillin in my basment stack of amps. I'll have to go look at it and see if it's the same, it's been years since I had it connected to anything.

    My first thought was Onkyo, but I couldn't find one that looked like those, so must be something else. Definitely not Sony or Yamaha.

    I thought it looked close. I have one of those amps I'm gonna go down to the basement and take a pic. I think I have a M504 as well, the same one in that pic.

    There's a Yamaha component in the cabinet, too. I thought it was a preamp in the original, murky photo -- I juiced it up a little; looks like a 1980s integrated amplifier. Maybe using the preamp section from it? Maybe bi-/multi-amping? B);)

    Ahem. On topic:
    stacking -- well, whatever Polks those are... someone got inspired by the dreaded stacked Advents of yore. :#

    As to the other black box... @F1nut, I'm thinkin' those two big black knobs are consistent with a Yamaha AVR such as this one(?):

    I stacked a pair of crs's on top of my 2.3s many years ago hoping they'd become 1.2tls; they didn't but it was fun rig for a while. Soundcraftsman separates on the crs and a yammy c4 and Mcintosh mc2500 for the 2.3s. Way more complicated than it needed to be but fun nonetheless.

    We did at Carverfest one year, just for fun. There is a photo out there, but I haven't seen it in years.
