outboard caps?

Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

check out the pilot EL-84 amp in the listing in the link below. it has 2 large aerovox caps positioned outboard, standalone, connected to the amp only via thin wires. has anyone seen anything like this before? other than being a giant pain to move around, are there other cons (dangerous?)?

thanks for any input.
