I'm collaborating to build a set that meet this dual criteria and I would LOVE to get some Mukassar (ebony) type veneer with that great contrast. Any idea how to source that in Australia given your woodworking knowledge? Thanks Quite a few veneer manufacturers/importers in Australia. I’d contact New Age Veneers in the first instance. Makassar Ebony won’t come cheap! 1
Kdjjdk Will Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 My how the world has changed when I was a kid you could get Macassar ebony in planks a violin maker I knew had a stash of bona fide Sri Lankan ebony , the real McCoy, in 12 inch wide planks honduras mahogany was cheap and everywhere now I shudder going to a timber yard where everything is priced like it was spot Gold 1

BruceS Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Here are the nine foot tall SoundLabs. Had thought (for about a second) about posting the naked lady in front of the big SoundLab but thought it may not be appropriate!! I think that picture is reasonably common around the traps! Bruce 2

Seriously I find the JBL 4355 speakers (hope that’s the right model!) to be stunning, if arguably at odds with traditional home decor. 1 1
Batty Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Not sacrilege, merely the truth. I also find them not pleasing to the eye.
