Subject:OT: Leslie louvers vs. slots

Going back a bit to an earlier thread there was some discussion about the sound emanating through louvered vents on a Leslie cabinet  (a 122 for example) vs. rectangular slots (a 760 or Frankenleslie for example).  I thought about that a bit and realized that almost every Leslie I've ever played was turned around backwards with the rear top panel and lower louver panel removed so it would be louder and could be mic'd if needed.

I never noticed any difference in sound between that configuration and listening to one in its factory state.

I don't think it really makes much difference one way or the other, and probably wouldn't be worth the extra trouble trying to get the louvers exactly right.
