Beautiful they are! At some 800 or more bucks a piece they damn well ought to be! I bought a mint set of Altec A7 828g cabs loaded with perfect cosmetics 515 8Gs, ditto on a pair of 902s and ditto on an excellent pair of later 511B horns (with altec installed vane cuts and rubbery inserts) and original still in the box 5018b crossovers for 800 a piece. They are (Martinelli's) beautiful, but man are they expensive. He did use to supply some basic wood types for painting that were less, but not with the killer looks of the primo fancy wood ones! Of course, these are basically a hand made item with lord only knows how many man hours involved in their creation. Too expensive for me unfortunantly, or I would have a set on the 7 PI pro models I am building. I bought JBL compression drivers, ( from Martinelli in fact), 10 inch JBL mids, and JBL woofers for the project at less cost than two of those gorgeous horns. I wish I could afford them!
