Been lurking here for quite awhile but just registered so that I can begin to have some dialouge about building some speakers. So first of all, hello everyone!
I have read a ton on this site about building a set of front speakers (decided on the Dayton III's or the Modula MT's, suggestions welcome!!) and a center speaker (Cynosure from Parts Express, the space for my center under my TV is 9" high x 28" W, so this looked perfect).
These speakers will be used almost exclusively for HT use. What I have not been able to find anywhere is the cost of the wood involved in making these speakers.
Does anyone build these using real wood, or does everyone use MDF and veneer covers?
The DIII's require (3)- 3/4" x 2' x 4' sheets of either wood or MDF. What is the difference in cost between using wood or the MDF/veneer combo?
By not being able to find any info through searches about the use of real wood I am beginning to think there is some reason for it..??
Thanks for the help.
