Pequod Acoustics, apparently.

No idea what the speakers, or the amps (not Air Tight, Traformatic, or Wavac), are.

Lens gave it as Avantgarde, which it isn’t.

Maybe it is all custom made stuff? The subs look close to a design I was looking at the other day but can’t remember now

Something very iffy about this image when you zoom into the shelves - AI for sure

100% AI No-one is gonna bother making bookmatched monoblocs, plus who’d leave their Fleshlight on show like that?

And who, apart from Jacques Cousteau, would have a seal as a pet?

I found the same. Neither as a right-click search, nor as a downloaded image search.
Not even cropping details from the image produced anything accurate.

Image search also suggested the Khang Audio Loa TrioK RFT L3060, which while very interesting, is also very inaccurate.

May I introduce you to the Wavac SH-833? :wink:

All comments aside, my suspicion is that either this is AI in which case a fair amount of work was put into it, especially given the lensing in the photo which would be due to wide-angle photography, or it is a DIY set-up.
I’d really like it to be the latter, but there is nothing so far found anywhere to support that..

I think it’s a composite image because of the alignment/orientation of the top horns which appear to be from another picture or installation altogether

You get a real perspective of the size when you look at the turntables!

The wording:

Introducing OJI Laboratory 225 horn loudspeakers. The 225 are designed to bring classic Western Electric performance to smaller rooms. They use the Western Electric replica 4189 full range woofers and the 597A tweeters, both using field-coil magnets and power supplies.

They look great (with great joinery)
Average DIY effort would undoubtedly look shit, so many ways to fuck it up!

Not sure of the reason but having the lower part of the front cover made in four bits is not a great look for the dosh likely being asked- Probably a mock up job?
Also I would like to see what the grain looked liked horiz for this bit. As it is just passable

Homin Kim, who is a part of Silbatone, does a lot of work with original and repro GIP Lab speakers.
