They are cool, but for what they probably will cost a pair of 604g will be way cheaper and sound better. Sold for collector value not audio value.
Yeah those are absolutely for collector value. I got a good deal on my pair of Urei 604G a while back. I’m planning to stick with those.
I got the 604G, found some Model 17 cabs, and built Markwarts crossovers for them all for under a grand.
Looks like they're gone
This is the second time they were listed. First they wanted $2200 for the pair. They were gone within hours of that listing. Then they posted them again (I think the same seller) for offer or trade
Can you describe 'cool'?Quote:

i'm not old enuff ......
I was born in the 1980’s. Cool was a cool word to use back then ;)
Maybe not so anymore. I’ll have to ask my kids.
I've heard old jazz guys describe uptempo music as hot and slower stuff as cool...maybe related?
The etymology dictionary says:
Quote:
Old English col "not warm" (but usually not as severe as cold), "moderately cold, neither warm nor very cold," also, figuratively, of persons, "unperturbed, undemonstrative, not excited or heated by passions," from Proto-Germanic *koluz (source also of Middle Dutch coel, Dutch koel, Old High German chuoli, German kühl "cool," Old Norse kala "be cold"), from PIE root *gel- "cold; to freeze."Attested in a figurative sense from early 14c. as "manifesting coldness, apathy, or dislike." Applied since 1728 to large sums of money to give emphasis to amount. Meaning "calmly audacious" is from 1825.
Slang use of cool for "fashionable" is by 1933, originally African-American vernacular; its modern use as a general term of approval is from the late 1940s, probably via bop talk and originally in reference to a style of jazz; the word is said to have been popularized in jazz circles by tenor saxophonist Lester Young (1909-1959). Cool-headed "not easily excited or confused" is from 1742.

I first heard (noticed?) 'cool' from Maynard G. Krebs the 'coolest cat' in the history of prime time on 'The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis' TV sitcom (1959 - 1963).
