The MKII upgrade was done including extra internal bracing, higher end mission cable wiring, and clarity cap which brought them up to the MKII version.

A James Burgess built EL34 triode amp in the mix today and it's warming up as we speak.

So which is your favourite system then Charles? I'm going to guess it's the one with the Altecs.

Photo makes it look like they are deeper than the width but the tape measure doesn't lie.

Wow. Amazing systems. Clearly a lot of careful thinking and planning went into them.
