I can't seem to wrap my head around these. They look like altecs from the 70's. I assume they use high quality components, but with all the R & D going into cabinets I'm surprised they wouldn't try to keep up, if for nothing else but style. I'm sure there is some value to tried and true designs, and if anyone knows what's in their cabinets please enlighten me.
If it's as simple as slapping good components into a rectangular box why do so many other manufacturers go to the lengths they do for fancy cabinets?
