Excellent. You responded indirectly and positively to my question of point. Your Altecs are musically compelling to you. That is what is critical and the opinions of others does not matter.
Regarding cabinet design, it has advanced substantially from an engineering perspective with regard to materials, computer assisted shaping, and bracing all designed to remove internal frequency reflections, reinforcements, and cancellations. Speaker finishes for some companies are as important to SQ, others not, so generalization that the art of cabinetmaking was better in the past cannot be taken as an axiom.
So I am glad you find your system musically compelling and I do not understand the purpose of your post, including the YouTube stream.
