Not to open old wounds, but if I'm not mistaken, David Brink was previously known here as NoRealTalent and was the original owner of these Riessen reproductions cabinets. I'm told he built the networks using the schematic created by Giskard and Greg Timbers. You might also remember ex-member Steve Gonzalez once referring to Dave as, "my best Friend on the planet and fellow JBL nut".
I'm not privy to the inner working of this site or anything about the "recent unpleasantness" but I do know that as recently as two-weeks ago I was able to find both Steve Gonzales and NoRealTalent in the member section here in order to search for their posts from their profiles. Today they are only listed as "guests", if you are able to find a post attributed to either. Both ex-LH-members are on AK and you can see one of the versions of the networks (and the 4345s in the background) in this thread there:

During the ownership of the last two members, there were component swaps a-plenty, as mentioned on LH and elsewhere. What I have right now are essentially a stock pair of 4345 with respect to the components. Without stooping to repeating rumor and innuendo, or breaking any confidence, I believe the first owner was unhappy in some way with the finish of the cabs (I, on the other hand, am quite pleased with it), and passed them to the second owner who swapped them back and forth with the first owner—as well as some components—until deciding to sell them in preparation for selling the house they were in and possibly returning to school. I have no reason to believe there's anything more to it than that—or possibly the love of the chase. Search for "4345 Bliss" and you'll see that at least the last owner was happy with them as recently as a year ago!
FWIW, the networks that came with the 4345s I bought are these:
Thanks for the offer. Nice to see SMAART is now available for the Mac OS (not that I could afford it). Is a "GEQ" something special in an EQ (excuse my stupidity; I'm trying to learn)? Or will a Soundcraftsmen Pro-EQ-44 third-octave unit work?
