Thank you for the reply, Greg.
Yes, they're not as handsome as say my old Nautilus 803s and REL Stentor III or others I've owned. I do like their sound better than the 803's though and that's saying something.
By the way - It took a bit of doing to get the cherry finish from Chris Smith in Northridge in undamaged condition, which was at least an improvement over the ubiquitous, very homely, generic black of not one, but a second pair of 580's that both had factory cab damage right out of the box. However, I've discovered that if you stay back at the listening position, or further back near the bar with a few drinks and keep the lights down, you might think they're some Avalons with that odd, angular style, (...the girls all look prettier at closing time?).
Also had a helluva time getting replacement grilles from Chris (he couldn't find any for almost a year) because the originals didn't lay flush to the surface as they should in the area above the top woofer. I asked him how hard could it have been for the designer to spec another set of mounting studs there? I was going to return them. A bit careless design I'd say, or maybe it would have cost Harmin' another 13¢ per? The new grilles still aren't great but I decided to give up the hunt and just live with it.
They sound very good and that's what matters. Thanks for the effort.
*Pardon me for the OT, gents. Carry on!
