Now I see he has changed the title and description to actually call these Lagunas. He no longer mentions who made them. These are NOT original Laguna cabinets. I own a pair and the differences are numerous.
The horn i see in the pic is definitely green, as green as the day is long, the camera angle and lighting make it appear mostly darker than it is. I've only ever seen the green horns with the silver ink stamp "made in USA" on them. Also, if you look closely at the front mounting tabs and the throat area where the exponential expansion begins, you can see that it's green.
The one clue that has made me positively side with the DIY camp on these, which also never occurred to me at first and should have, are the knots in the baffle board, definitely lower quality material than any factory could probably even source back in the day.

Would one of the differences be that these at topic are totally absent any of the triangular glue blocks that we so commonly see in many of the other cabinets of this vintage?These are NOT original Laguna cabinets. I own a pair and the differences are numerous.

Yes, I overlooked that. Originals have many glue blocks.
Also I notice there is no metal band around the 802 driver.
Also in the originals, the woofers are mounted on a 1 inch thick baffle that ends at the bottom of the horn. There is no baffle to the sides of the horn in the originals and the resulting space is filled in with 1 inch thick compressed fiberglass.
There are many screws in the originals that I dont see here.
Originals are built like tanks. These are not.
A picture of the backs would reveal even more difference, I'm sure.
Now he has changed the title again to mention that they are copies.
He also insults the people who corrected him. What a dipshit! He doesnt get it. The cabinets are where the value is. The componets are easily sourced.
An original pair would be worth far more than his $3000 starting price. His are worth far less.
