    My 4333A's have new veneers

    Just wanted to show-off some pics of my 4333A's which are sporting refurbished cabinets.

    I bought these from JBLCanuck (Marty) who in-turn had bought them from the University of Victoria here in BC. The cabinets had been abused at UVic and were so deeply scratched that there was no way of sanding them down.

    I'm in the process of making new grilles for them... I have all the components but I gotta get around to assembling them.

    By the way, I would like to try bi-amping these (which I have not done with my 4341's cuz I want to keep them original) and I would appreciate any recommendations. I have a McIntosh MC2255 and a Dynaco ST70 which I was thinking to use with them. Right now I am running them with the Mac and they already sound great.
    My biggest fear is that, after I am dead, my kids will sell my audio equipment for what I told them I paid for it.

    Man those look great! The inspiration is building, one of these days I will get past particle board and paint. Nice work.
    If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.

    Nice job! As 1audiohack said, ...inspirational. I've got some nasty 4333 (no-A) cabs
    and all the parts to assemble them, but they need a similar re-skin.

    Now go rotate that 2405 90º

    Oops, I didn't realize I had the orientation wrong... I'll fix that right quick. Thanks grumpy.

    And I'll add that to the list of little goof-ups I have done along the the way, including when I went to remount all of the drivers and I realized that I had not made note of which wire went to which driver. It took me a lot of reading on this site to finally determine the correct order.
