Brynn Company Studio Deluxe Cabinet Brynn Co., out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, takes a similar tack as Analog Outfitters, but applies the upcycling concept to its gorgeous and very functional speaker cabinets, which it makes out of vintage ‘40s and ‘50s console radios. The radio guts are removed, and the classic, handbuilt wooden cabinets are converted to guitar speaker cabs, with each unit tuned by ear to the customer's preferred amplifier with tone-matched speakers and carefully selected components. Each Brynn Co. cabinet is a totally unique creation, and they are so elegant and retro-classy that you should have no trouble talking a partner or housemate into letting you keep your new rig in the living room. Besides the furnituregrade woodwork, these cabs simply sound remarkable, with a degree of robustness and authority not normally found in a modern plywood or MDF designs. The rounded contours and open-back design of these cabs also provides many unique mic placement possibilities in the studio. The Brynn Company's luxury model, the Studio Deluxe, will run your most generous holiday gift-giver(s) $999. Famous users include producer Jack Douglas, and that Aerosmith guy Joe Perry.
