Yes it's walnut woth Osmo polx oil finish

Yes, that's the bracing I installed.

All put together. Just waiting on new grille fabric and need to make or buy some stands, I don't want to put the factory ones back on as I don't like the look.

Thanks it took me a while but I'm happy with how they turned out. Much better than the black! I have JBL L50 and L100 in walnut as well.

ALK crossovers mounted

Damped the horns and woofer baskets with Kilmat.

Put a coat of Osmo polyx on them

Decision was made

I definitely wouldn't describe my experience with Crites diaphragms as "sad".

Uh, I never said that. I just said I'm happy with the ones I bought. I have no idea where any of them are made and have not heard the Klipsch diaphragms. They 100% smoothed out the top end on the speakers I installed them on.

Thanks but I already have the diaphragms and ALK crossovers will be here in a few weeks. I have Crites diaphragms in my KG 4.2 for home theater and love the sound of them.

I have some ALK crossovers on the way and some Crites diaphragms to put in. I want these to look as good as they sound!

Nice, I like the white. Good motivation here.

Yes I have the original grilles.

Yes I am aware. What I meant by that comment was that those were my options at this point. Strongly considering getting some walnut veneer and making them match.
