Over the years I've read a lot about the Abbey Road Studios 612 cabs with the 605A. Enough that after watching a documentary about the studio I decided I wanted to put together a pair. I don't know a great deal about the Altec history but had read up on the 612 cabinet and its match with a 605A or 604.
This weekend I found a pair of 608 cabs (that I see much less about online) with 605A drivers for sale. This cabinet was obviously styled more for home use than the plain silver or black 612s, but I was surprised to see that it's got more cu volume than a 612 as well. Would this not make the 608/605 combination a better performer than the 612? I just don't see much about the 608 online.
Thanks in advance.
