I had no intention of trying to find 604s - I was looking for some big horns - but the price seemed good enough that I could buy 'em and try 'em and not loose any money if I didn't like them. I blew off dinner, and drove right down. Nice guy, a bunch of nice equipment, and they sounded great to me, albeit a little light on the bass. I got them for $820, and my wife was a VERY good sport about dinner! I haven't tried them yet, but I plan to have a shoot out between them and my19s in my living room, and sell the losers to pay for the 1005 horns that I'd like to try out with the A-7's in my shop.

I'm not sure if the photos uploaded correctly, But the cabs are white oak veneer on a plywood core, 20-1/2" w x 29-1/2" h x 20" d, with lots of nice details- i.e. all the cut outs are cleanly routed, t-nuts for the for the cross over fasteners, and nicely done miters on the interior diagonal braces etc... Clearly not quick and dirty home brew. I think that they do have the dual EQ crossovers - at least they each have 2 knobs at any rate.
Yes, those are the crossovers I was talking about--those are GREAT crossovers--considerably better than the earlier 604 crossovers. As Cradeldorf said, maybe it was the seller's gear that was light on bass. If not, you may need to adjust the tuning of the cabinets. If both duplexes and crossovers are in great shape, $820 is a real bargain as far as I'm concerned. Please keep us posted on how they sound with your stereo system--and more pics would be nice too (the fronts of the drivers for example)....
