FYI here is the "inspiration" cuisinart:
My wife required that the speaker be rounded, and matching the color of the kitchen
equipment, and no more than 8" wide, hence this design.
The paint color was actually the easy part -- the hard part was the grill, because
in my wife's view, covering a black driver with a black cover is pointless. She
wanted the same silver color. We went to 3 fabric shops and found nothing. Finally
at a Ross Dress For Less we found a prom dress for $10 with a color and sheen she
approved of, so we bought that, cut out the skirt, and mailed the fabric to Jim.
Here is the pic Jim emailed me:
Of course when I'm alone I'll remove the grille covers, but at least this way the
speakers will be allowed out of the closet.
The speakers are still in transit; I haven't received them yet, but am excited to do so.
