CECAA850 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If you want to get into this century, look at bamboo. It's renewable and extremely hard. There's a ton of good looking stuff out there as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 American walnut is Black Walnut, goes by a few other names as well. Knots are normally unwanted in quality veneer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 One thing I would loved to have seen offered, is an ALL RAW BIRCH La Scala II with Cane Grill... even a raw birch Klipschorn with REAL cane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) How about offering the Jubilee bass bin (and the other Cinema bass cabinets) as unfinished "Birch Raw" like the LaScala I... Personally, I think a pair of KPT-684's in a clear Birch Lacquer finish (to match my LaScalas) would merit some serious consideration. I asked this question in the Klipsch Pro subforum "Are Klipsch Pro(Cinema) cabinets available unfinished?" The answer was yes see post 12 and 16,17 Where'd my link to the other thread go ??????

colterphoto1 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 'Beauty Panel' - the term I coined when Roy, Trey and Iwere getting requests from you guys for a way to prettify the Jubilee LF cabinet. I understand that this has been available for quite some time and that several of the Forum guys own such magnificent beauties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted May 24, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2016 Teak Oiled (sustainable of course) with Cane A wood 402 horn A wood 510 horn Heresy speaker made of a material like Corian (like Mark Daniel's book shelf speakers) My number one choice would be one like this if it were limited to 10 pair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Brazilian Rosewood, my favorite of all time! Pecan or hickory would be nice, and a change of pace, too, and possible to match to furniture in the room. I am not really into extremely "LOUD" wood patterns/colors/contrasts, since the affordability of a room full of furniture to match the speakers would be impossible for MOST pockets...just saying...the SOUND coming out of the speakers will be what sets Klipsch apart from the others, the wood is secondary for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wood is so passe`. If possum is out of the question, then good old American Alligator would absolutely rock! There's no way I could resist some alligator heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigybean Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I don't know if it is allowed to post links in this thread, so please don't kill me if I am out of line but have you seen this? http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/23/architecture/clear-wood-architecture/ Basically they have made a process to get clear wood. How awesome would it be to have a set of speakers made of clear wood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Actually, a Japanese black lacquer would be pretty stunning, either shiny or buffed a bit. Dave yes, with cane grills would be incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Conventional thinking. Nice but meh. Gator. Exotic. Something other than wood. For Stew, tomato skin perhaps. Skin them alive eh stew? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's so obvious and perfect. Gator would set the standard. Wood? Pshaw. It's been done ad nauseum. People have no imagination, but once you present them with the next thing, they gobble it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
