    Pretty, to bad they aren't built with a 30/60 degree angle instead of 45.

    Nice looking custom built cabinets. Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like they left the whole bass reflex vent panel on the bottom open - compared to original Altec 820s.

    How would cabinet tuning be affected by his use of 515s, rather than the original 803As?

    Kinda odd choice, since the 802 barely keeps up with the original woofs.

    It will have less bottom, more midbass which it did not need.

    And of course PT Barnum insists a sound engineer by day, carpenter by night works in a theater...

    Worth likely 1700-1800 top dollar IMHO. And I wouldn't buy at that.
