Debating on Size and Shape of Cab
paigeoliver:
Feh, build a Defender, I know like 30 percent of you guys have cabinets roughly based on that design that notches in in the back, but I HATE that design, doesn't look at all like any real cabinets.
Defender is easy to build (just made a cabinet that was mostly a Defender), easy to install the monitor in, and easy to make control panels for.
DaveMMR:
I think the most important thing is which one you like better? Because ultimately, it's really your decision.
But since you asked, I was never a fan of the Defender shaped cabs, so I would cast my vote for the Dream Authentics style cab. Nothing personal against the Def. cabs, just kinda boxy.
Then again, no cabinet shape was really ever unappealing to me. Well except those round Duramold death machines that would melt and spit monitors out. Oh and Computer Space.
jdfriesen:
I kind of agree with Dave, I was just stating which of the two options I preferred. I never really liked the Defender style either, and so the other won sort of by default.
I think growing up in the 80s, and not liking the Defender cab though, must mean something's wrong with me! ;)

I'd go with option A but painted black :)
The Dream Authentics design doesn't look very authentic to me, but that's just my opinion.

Exactly. I think that quad one looks like someones bad mistake. The control panel is WAY too big, and looks like an ice cream sandwich. The bezel/monitor area looks a little weird, it just looks all out of proportion in general.
