Rich wanted SongSurround II's he could build a home theater around.  He needed front-ported speakers and wanted them in genuine Brazilian rosewood. He also upgraded to the OW4 tweeters.

He search around and found a batch of veneer that he really liked.  Here is the result...



Here's a view of the left and right speakers...



And a closeup view...



Happy listening Rich!

I'm sure the Brazilian rosewood is expensive.  To me that has to be in top 5% of the most beautiful I've seen. The rosewood grain and pattern fits the a speaker appilication very well !  Although I thought my mahogany was nice, I think I might have to place Brazilian rosewood along with Zircote and few others in top group for my next salk upgrade.

welcome to the rosewood club! 

as for the wood, it is now illegal to harvest brazilian rosewood, so when the current stock is used, it's gone. so upgrade soon!

Yep, I got a new Guitar this past summer and its back and sides are East Indian Rosewood.  Martin has replace Brazilian with east indian and Madagascar rosewood because of this ban and shortages.
