Still, with a large, low tuned cab one can EQ a bit more bass out of them and also not lose as much on recordings with more low end.

I listen to mainly vinyl on my vintage thorens record player with a 80?s Ortofon SPU.
SO: I guess these 612 DIY cabs will suit me quite well, I have mainly 50?s - 60?s jazz and classical + rock and singer songwriter until roughly 1975 in my record collection. Don?t have a cd player and don't have a DAC....
