New 604 Cabs

[voice of the theater]

Those turned out great Cradeldorf! I like how you not only offset the speaker hole (which, from what I understand, helps to prevent reflections inside the cabs cancelling each other out), but you offset them the opposite of each other so you have a "right cabinet" and a "left cabinet". I really like that approach--when purchasing a pair of factory Altec cabinets (with offset holes), they were always identical so there was no "right" or "left" cab. I'm sure that made it a lot easier to sell them (in pairs and as singles)--you didn't have to order a "right" and a "left". Anyone know if Cradeldorf's approach will enhance stereo imaging compared to the "traditional" Altec approach?

EDIT: It's a shame you had to paint those beauties. I really like the look of the grain just as it is in the photos. If they were mine, I would have been tempted to just put a clear coat on them. But then again, I've always been a sucker for blondes!
