Is it me or do these bins not look like the original festival bin?. I'm sure the pictures i've seen of the bins makers them taller and narrower than they look in this picture and I don't recall there being port holes on the curve? Thoughts?

Agree with you there, I can't remember them being ported either!
Also, with that list of mismatch drivers, why not make two of the cabs loaded totally with the K151's? And then mix the other two... or is that just my OCD making an appearance? |

Those ports could have been put in at a later stage, probably with a Tank Cutter. Must have taken ages to calculate. But what about the bar Handles, did they ever use any?

My tb3020s have bar handles so I would say they did.
These cabs don't look anything like it though. Though mid phase plugs look right, but were never in separate cabs? One of them got txd plaque on back as well. Edited by Twiggy - 23 May 2014 at 1:33am |

The bins do look similar to the "ABBA" Turbosound rig discussed here some 6 months ago.

Those cabinets have obviously had an interesting life...
The bins definitely look like TFA's. The mids have been rebuilt from either Festival dual mids or TFA Electrosound Turbo tops. The HF are also rebuilds, missing tweeters, and might not be Turbo or TFA originals anyway (and the drivers are obviously much newer). The TXD 530 cabinet is a good ten years younger than the rest of that stuff. All very interesting, but vastly overpriced. Edited by madboffin - 23 May 2014 at 3:47pm |

Any info on the festivals as I thought they're what I have...
From what I understand here they're usually not ported or having bar handles, neither have mine, they're like F218s. Curved or sectional horn? |
