Serious Guess:
1. The name of the commodity - Monoblock Amplifiers
2. The number of them in the "Stack" - 2
3. Why they are a "Short Stack" - the amps are full width components but are short(about 2 inches) in height like the old Soundstream DA2 amps.

My lame attempt at a humorous guess:
1. The name of the commodity - exotic audio interconnects
2. The number of them in the "Stack" - 1
3. Why they are a "Short Stack" - Because you only need a short stack of credit cards in order to afford to buy one of these...

stacked as "pancakes" and 3 pancakes are a
"shortstack"

I think the short stack is the the preamp, the amp, the ICBM, a DVD player.
the Short stack is 4 pieces.
they are the short stack because this is all the basic componets to have a great home audio system in one package.

I think pat nailed it, but didn't put the correct # of interconnects needed... since this goes between two components, so here goes:

Name of the commodity: Interconnects

The # of them in the stack: Since there are 6 channels from the SACD, or DVD-A, and the bass channel is being created by the ICBM, there are 6 inputs and 7 outputs, for a total of 13 channels in the short stack.

Why they are a short stack: hmm... the device will be little (short), and have a large number of wires "stacked" in it

Amp
2
more amps needed for a full HT

1. Its an Outlaw gunslinging tool
2. 2 items
3. they are short for a fast pull from the left and right holsters.

I think that the shortstack is a preamp, amp, and DVD player all in one.

There is one piece

Its called the short stack because its everything stacked into one.

1. New Pre/Pro--possible outlaw product number 1250 or even 1750 (to highlight 7.1 channel capibilites---ok, 1750 is too close to 750---make it model number 7100 maybe) with 750 amp and ICBM....(intra-racial, cross-dressing buddist marriages??).
2. components--3
3. named short stack because of it's component on component placement with small footprint and small height (pre/pro and ICBM are very thin--possibly 3 inches each) or that the designers at Outlaw have habitus similar to the Comic Book man on The Simpsons and think only of electronics and eating....guess this comment destroys my chances of winning :0 g
