ar_pro Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 So we're watching this great documentary called 400 Years Of The Telescope, when the pattern-recognition area of my brain went off, and I needed to back the program up to see what had caused my mental exclamation point. Turns out that in the background of a short scene with an astronomer speaking in his observatory, there were a pair of brown boxes. I'm pretty sure they're some flavor of AR-4. Do all speaker nuts run this sort of continuous subroutine? Could it just be me? Holy cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samberger0357 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 That's a Sony STR 6800. Great receiver, and a great match for whatever variation of 4's those are. Good catch. And perfectly normal behavior, at least among us AR freaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageMan Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 It does not only happen with AR's suddenly showing up in the back. It happens to me when any vintage audio setup comes along in a movie, commercial or show. My wife sometimes shakes her head when I pause a program to see what equipment it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lARrybody Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 A few years ago I went to see a Denzel Washington movie "The Pilot". There was a scene where he visits his father's vacation cabin and plays music on some vintage stereo equipment. I could not identify what it was. Later I rented the Blu Ray to pause the screen shot and identified the receiver as a Soundesign. I have heard the 4x speakers described as "giant killers", but my favorite is Steve F and his father's label of "not fair speakers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genek Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The time to start being concerned is when you see stuff like this and don't care about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidDru Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Those puppies are playing the sounds of the cosmos. Figures they would have 50 year old speakers in and amongst all that other tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not just you and it's not just speakers. This thread jostled my memory back to two pieces from Anthony Mason that ran on CBS Sunday Morning. The first piece, from 2/08/15, was on music photographer Henry Diltz, featuring a great shot of James Taylor. Another artist shown with his producing and reproducing equipment, was composer John Kander, who was profiled on 6/07/15. I didn't save these pics at the time, but happily, I was able to find them with a minor amount of 'digging'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
