If those Novas sound as half as good as a Model Five (I had an orphan once and used to test it) you will most likely not need the RSLs....

however the RSL has the classic West Coast sound

I have yet to come close to a JBL score....and my only Altec score was the dreaded Santana IIs...they make excellent night stands though.

Those were from back when I used to check Craigslist every hour. Call the number within five minutes of the ad going up and immediately drove over.
$225, IIRC and they needed foams. They said the phone rang off the hook right constantly after I called with people trying to up the price. It's a tough one here in SoCal as there are so many knowledgeable AKers vieing for the good stuff.

($75) L80t3s are my nearfield 'puter speakers lately. Hooked up to those Maggotbox biamp firebottles. Bliss.

I really need somebody to give me a kick in the ass so I'll finally build the cabs for my Altec 604Es.

every now and then you can see people selling cabinets on CL but I imagine you need some high quality stuff for those...

I left the 40 yr. old factory bare bones and dried out particle board (620) cabs up in the attic. Not worth saving.

AKer Billforts' corner design out of 1" baltic birch is the way I'll probably go. What is kind of cool about the xover point (1500hz) is that my Maggies biamps have a built in xover point of 1100hz. It'll be interesting to see if they are a close enough match.

Baltic birch from Finland? You better make sure Greenpeace is ok with that. Half the endangered species over there are forest dwellers, and they have problems with the water chemistry in many lakes too. Just buy some little earbuds and be happy.
