Custom veneered CBM-170s finally done (300kb+)

[Gman]

Wow BradJudy that's what I call a man who loves his Ascends!
Thanks for the steps and cost break down. Nothing I would ever try, but the speakers look stunning. Did you do this for WAF factor or just to see if you could? A lot of work to make your speaker look as good as it sounds. I have the 340 center and I actually like the way that it looks.. Not ugly at all.


Excellent job and thanks for the post and pics.
