mopardave Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Gonna redo these CW's I built some 17yrs ago. I'm tired of the red mahogany gloss. Will be upgrading the drivers as well per claudj1. Woofer/tweeter only. First i'm undecided about the motor board. Paint it black like Klipsch does or veneer in a near black tone of veneer like this one. Its called Wenge.

mopardave Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Next here are some veneers i'm looking at going with for the rest of the speakers. First one I have my heart set on, but still just not sure if its maybe too dark. What do you guys think about this two tone combo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopardave Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Here are the other tones I have picked out. I will be changing my grill material as well to the off white lambs wool to go with the darker tones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 The first is Italian ebony brown, then light ebony, then ziricote, then the last two are rosewood santo and I am trying to get away from the red tones, but I do like it.

glens Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Of the last 4 samples either the 2nd or 4th, in that order. Those rosewood boxes are too pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think I like the 2nd one in the last set the best. Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Although the very first sample ain't too shabby either, maybe just a tad too dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopardave Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 With the change in plans these will now be Cornscala's. Oakwood veneer has added some more veneers to their collection. Here's a few more i'm looking at right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 My personal taste is for the slightly less contrasty woods... some figuring, but not so black and white'ish... more tonal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to use something that matches the lambs wool grills i'm gonna use and think darker contrasting tones look good with them. Looking for something that really pops.
