Hand-built cabinets or commercial pro-audio?
One side
Custom hand-built cabinets and amps
The other
Commercial off-the-shelf pro-audio
What was argued
A documented debate over how a rig should be built, stated neutrally: one tradition insists the sound must be custom-built in-house, cabinets, crossovers and often amplifiers made or heavily modified to a crew's own taste; another view holds that modern commercial pro-audio delivers more reliable, measurable performance and that there is no shame in buying it. Neutral framing; no verdict.
