I like the dome most of all, and specifically don't love the look of the flat sapphire. Scratches don't bother me at all either. There's a clear preference for acrylic here.

Timely thread....I am considering buying a vintage sub at the moment. I'd really like the last of the acrylic models....the 1680 but I am considering a 16800 (first sapphire) because it's more affordable and because the 1680 is hard to find. The only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger *right now* is the sapphire crystal. hhmm
