Almost certainly from a New York based company called Cabinart IMHO.
They sold them empty.

Wow thanks for the quick response.
They look interesting. I can’t tell exactly how big they are, but it looks like they would fit either a 811 or 511 horn in the top section. I’ll try to see if I can find some pics of one with drivers in it.
Edit: I found some old ads where they showed different enclosures you could buy. Looks like they sold copies of well known speaker cabs that came in kit form? I still didn’t find any that looked like the ones in the CL ad. Any idea what speaker those are a copy of?
Look like a Brociner corner horn.

Not all vegetables make good leaders.
I swear I saw cabs like those in a thread semi recently on AK. Yes bowtie it looks like those are it.And now that I look at the pics closer, you can see where the part on top was added on/is separate.
I’ll have to do some research on these cabs.
Man after reading about the Brociner speakers I kind of want those cabinets. I?m wondering what Altec drivers would fit them best (cabinet size wise). Or maybe my PAS CXL-1580 would sound good in those.
Brociner was my first thought.Originally Posted by bowtie427ss
But horn area looks different to me.
Cabinart made essentially the same cabinet, the HF area looks more like theirs.
I think these were based on designs by Paul Klipsch.
Edit- turns out I was wrong about Klipsch. I think.

This is what one fellow ( Wilberforce ) came up with for a modern build of that BLH design.

Thanks, Earl
Got me thinking about dusting off my saw.

I here ya Old Guy,
If I wasn't stuck in an apartment I would build a pair.
The form factor hits all the right buttons for me.
BTW, that horn is still available at P.E. for all of $13.00 ( it's a buy out > so stock will disappear eventually ).

An Altec 802G sounds very nice on that horn ( after a bit of HF compensation ).
Even better ( for loading the 802 ) would be the H808 > that would push all my buttons!
