Barzilay Cabinets?

Looks like Barzilay but says the speakers have two 8" woofers and three 1" dome aluminum tweeters! Also says cherry but looks like walnut.

From what I can tell, someone must have put a pair of McIntosh HT-1 speakers inside Barzilay cabinets. Barzilay cabs have a reddish hue so someone who doesn't know anything about wood might assume cherry.

Also they said they were made in 1993

Yeah, the specs are copied and pasted from Roger Russell's site. Think it's just a seller who isn't really sure what he/she has going on there. Might not be backs on the Barzilay anymore so the McIntosh labels are showing. I have one of those cabinets sitting right here and a McIntosh HT-1 would easily fit inside.

The cabinets themselves are not solid hardwood, they're veneered composite with solid front fascia. I doubt that they're made of cherry but would need better photos of the grain structure to know for sure.

I have the brothers, and they are walnut Barzilays.
