Interestingly, these speakers were originally intended to go in our family room, which has a different A/V console I built. (That room is no longer red, but a grayish/greenish color called Link Gray. You can see the new room in my fireplace mantel/surround project) My wife prefers the sound of an older pair of speakers I built, so I moved these ones up to our yoga room, which houses my second audio system.
Barb, my blog series will have a post on how I veneered these speakers.
