it's hard to take a good photo of an Altec Duplex.
At least, for a bad photographer such as I.

    Pics came out just fine.

    Did you make the cabinets yourself? Really nice job.

    Are you going to paint or stain them?

    Shaping up "nicely". Looks like you're conveying some of your stock to the new place. The only question I have is, while I see that ceiling fan, direct summer light, even in the north, can heat up the top floor like nobody's business, so I do hope there is a ton of insulation "above" and some AC in your abode as well!

    My home office is on the second floor and there are days when running fans doesn't cut it. Not many, but enough to make things uncomfortable.

    I do love the space, though, lots of "space"! Oh, and you're going to need to upgrade that "chair"!

    Nice man, nice. You should try a pair of Jensen imperial cabinets for those.

    Cabinets are awesome as well as the speaker componets! What are you powering them with, amps, etc?
