Hi All, I was going to wait until they were finished before posting this build, but I could not help myself. Attached is a progress pic of my first foray into high efficiency speakers. After many clear coats, Ben (at Sound with Style over here is Aus) is doing a really nice job of bringing out the beauty of the Red Heart Eucalypt. There is (at least) one more coat to be applied, then cutting and buffing. In his words, the finish will be “like glass”. The rest of the speaker will be finished in 'piano' black. Ben is doing a great job; I really like supporting local craftsmen... Thanks for taking the time look. Cheers. |

"Loud is Beautiful if it's Clean!" Hey GM, you DO realize that that's a trademarked slogan of Cerwin-Vega, don't you? :) |
