    Can you post a higher resolution image. It's pretty fuzzy on my monitor.

    We have a winner. It is a pair of amplifiers. Here's what's in the rack above them.

    Don't know who built it but it still works. The church has expanded into praise and worship and the two sets of five recessed ceiling speakers can no longer keep up.

    Those amps first reminded me of the altec 159x series of mono blocks but the heatsinks don't look quite right and Altec never has vents on the amp cases. Not to mention the innards are way different. Perhaps their dukane medallion series or some other industrial brand. The vents on the edge of the rack remind me of an electro sound amp I saw once. Dont know anything about electro sound. Do the amps use output transformers?

    Not intending to blaspheme, but I would think that a good bit more than praise and worship would be needed to keep that rig running reliably.

    And, there is, of course, the fire risk.
