Stretch

Thanks everyone for the input. The speakers are HBR, unfinished birch. I experimented with some birch plywood i had laying around, tried different oils and waxes and found that a couple of coats of good ole Johnsons past wax and some buffing maintained the color of the birch and left a super smooth finish and should help protect the wood. Next topic: Crossovers. I've read several threads about recap. Seems like it is necessary and seems like JEM is best bet for originality? Any thoughts

I have just acquired my first pair of Heresey which happen to be I's from late '84. I have admired the Heresy since the late 70's when I was in High School and finally I have a pair. These speakers have been built into an entertainment center since new and have never been moved until now. The cabinets are nearly flawless except for the fact that they were painted green to match the entertainment center. I have completely disassembled the speakers and meticulously sanded then down to the original unfinished birch, the edges and corners are sharp, they are beautiful. I am asking for opinions on if I should or should not finish the cabinets and if so, what would be an appropriate finish that would respect the authenticity of the speakers. Let me know what you think.
