What's wrong with this pic? (Henry 8x8 content)

If that thing were at a pawn shop, it would probably end up in some kids trunk as a subwoofer.

I saw one at Music Go Round that looked to be more original than this one. They're asking $449 for it. I have a feeling they will be holding onto it for a while at that price.

And of course the resulting low price to go with it!
It’s why I always recommend that used cabinets are checked for original drivers and/or suitable replacements. Not a junk driver stuffed in a box. Worth just about zero.
 
I have a hard time believing that $289 was a higher price than the SWR Henry the 8x8 with the OEM speakers. There's a used one on sale at Reverb right now for $563.52.
Pretty sure it was somewhere a little under $400 at the beginning of its tenure at the GC. I bought it for $289, as I stated in my post it sounds fine at “testing in GC” volume. Start to give it some volume and those speakers just about jump out. It has a very distinct point where the cabinet gets resonant it rattles and farts. It’s almost like playing an octave pedal, it’s like right about that point on the A string it starts to give up the ghost where you lose tracking for an octave pedal.
 
What’s wrong with this pic? Regular price $324.00. Sale price $289.99, a savings of $34.00 give or take. What does the sign say you’re saving from the regular price? Go ahead and look. I’ll wait. Doobie smoking employee, strike two.
