Onkyo AS-2000X
The Onkyo AS-2000X is a speaker stand, not an electronic component, so the record on it is thin. What is known comes from a few solid facts, mostly from Japanese audio databases and period listings.
Onkyo pitched the AS-2000X as the companion for its Monitor2000X and D-77X loudspeakers. The stands were built from a newly developed laminated reinforcement material: mizume cherry wood impregnated with special resins, then molded under high temperature and high pressure to suppress unwanted vibration. That construction detail is about all the design documentation there is. No production years are confirmed, though a price of ¥45,000 per pair appears with a circa-1986 estimate.
Each stand measures 408 x 200 x 350 mm (W x H x D) and weighs 6.7 kg. Sellers have noted they work fine with speakers from other manufacturers, not just Onkyo's own.
Known specs:
- Price: ¥45,000 per pair (c. 1986)
- Dimensions: 408 x 200 x 350 mm (W x H x D)
- Weight: 6.7 kg each
- Material: laminated mizume cherry with special resin, high-temp/high-pressure molded
One naming discrepancy: a German forum image caption lists the model as "AS-2000" rather than AS-2000X, though it appears to show the same stand. Beyond that, little else is documented. There is no maintenance history, no list of common issues, and only scattered marketplace listings. If you own a pair and can add to the record, the Archive would welcome it.
