The speakers with the wood slab sides, is that solid wood or veneered material?

I would venture that the ones with the smaller-than-speaker-side plate are MDF with rigid thermofoil "veneer". Acoustically good because it's MDF, and the woodgrain foils are very convincing. Many moons ago I used this on a build discussed here that Danny designed a filter for.

Does anyone know what species of wood that is?  I was thinking of buying the Hobb's NX some time in the future, and I was either thinking Maple or Walnut.  I wonder if the completed speakers will have that level veneer quality, if it is a veneer.
