I am getting ready to upgrade my Statements to Statement IIs.
During this process, I am going to completely build new cabinets for them. My current Statements are 10+ years old and I just want a new look.
I am wanting to do a solid wood front baffle.
I also want to make this removable.
#1 - for different expansion/contraction rates of the wood versus MDF.
#2 - it would be cool to be able to keep the cabinets as is and change out different front baffle designs over time.
Does anyone see issue with doing this?
I see a lot of posts for removable front baffles on bookshelf and smaller speakers. But, could not find anything for floor standing speakers.
I was thinking of adding a 1-2 inch "lip" around the front of the cabinet to then bolt the front baffles to. Using speaker gasket around the perimeter.
My design is almost complete, except for this sticking point.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
