Saw these on the local CL. Kinda cool cabinets, but no idea what they are.

They kinda look like a pair I have that I'm convinced are homemade. Mine have a nice box, but the speakers are complete garbage

They went with, or were an accessory to a console.

That's what I would guess. Either from a sort of sectional console, or from a quadraphonic one, but my first guess would be the former.

* * * Okay, all you AK console hi-fi and stereo devotes, your turn to jump in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They could even be in demand among console fans, since they could easily get separated from the main unit. And while they might not sound right with a lot of later component stereo systems, they might be great for the low-power receivers in a lot of consoles.

The is guys. I like the cabinets. I did notice the cheesey back panel with RCA Jack's. I ways look at these old large cabinets like a box of Cracker Jack's. You never know what the prize is until you open them up. I'm guessing they were part of a lesser console setup though. The grill does look like thick gauge wire was used for the scroll bits. Kinda cool.

those are Magnavox speakers from about 1970 or 1971.

Thanks,.that tells me what's in them. Very so-so 8 ohm drivers. Probably the 15" woofer with ceramic magnet and a horn.
