jhoak Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've got a pair of CWOs (black grills) as mains and HBRs (cane grills) as surrounds. Since most of the rest of the wood pieces in my living room are walnut or cherry (darker woods) the HBRs really stand out. I figure I can either veneer the HBRs in walnut (I'm fairly handy woodworking wise) or I can build new cabinets and veneer them. Either way they'll get new black grills to match the CWOs. Is there a "market" for empty 83 HBR cabinets with cane grills? Will I kill any value the HBRs had by veneering them in a wood and finish that doesn't match the labels? Guide me...

Guest David H Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Dont know about the cabs, but the cane grills may have value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 seems like an easy fix to me. buy a set of heresys in walnut and sell the HBR's if you would post where you live you might get some action here on the forum. pictures-pictures and more pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoak Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I had the HBRs for sale for $250 to $300 ant various sites for a month and didn't get a single bite. At that point I figured that they were pretty much worthless to anyone but me. They were even posted here without a single reply. Oh well...

Islander Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Many, if not most, "raw" speakers have been refinished by their owners. If you put in the time and effort to reveneer them, you may increase their value and salability, but you won't want to sell them, because now they'll look better with your other speakers. Win-win!

Guest " " Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 " Is there a "market" for empty 83 HBR cabinets with cane grills?" if they are plain and unfinished...I'd be interested in seeing some pic's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
