I think the custom cabinet has better finish, a chamfered corner instead of a roundover, and most certainly will have better grilles (probably magnetic).
I think for the 2K they will have the Mag grilles.
The cheap asian one. I bought Phils so randomly specifically because dennis said he only had a few more left.
Yeah he was talking B-stock cabs and was not sure of that inventory either, that's the reason he told me to remind him of our conversation so as not to be at the end of list, exact words "I am out of those puppies"
A few hundred a pair. You'll have to ask Dennis but I think he said around $25-600. BTW as of today, the Phil 3s have now gone up in price to $3,500.
