I may not have the supremely prestigious speakers that a lot of the people on this board have, but I still want my speakers to be aesthetically appealing. I have 2 f-3 floorstanders and a c-3 center channel. Well, not in my possession, but they are paid for and will be arriving monday. As a 22 year old college student, money is tight, and buying these speakers made my wallet cry. But anyway, on to the point. I have no idea how the f-3's are finished (veneer, paint, etc.), but I would like to finish them in a nice wood veneer (not too keen on the black). So my questions are: 1.) Painted or veneer? 2.) If veneer, can I just place new veneer over old, or must I remove the old? 3.) If painted, just sand and go, right? Oh, and totally in the wrong section, but subwoofer + living in apartment is a generally bad idea, correct? Oh yea, this is my first post as well, so hello all
