What happen to finishing speakers like furniture?


I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but I'm tired of laminate! I have a $1700 pair of Pinnacle Aerogels and they are finished with laminate. I miss the days when real wood veneers were the standard, not the exception. Over the last few months I've purchased four different pairs of vintage Klipsch speakers - Heresys and Fortes and come to realize that speakers should look as good as the $4,000 Entertainment center. I'm currently in the process of refinishing a pair of Heresys in Red Mahogony and they are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product. I understand why speaker companies have gone to laminates, but I wish they didn't need to.

What happened to finishing furniture like furniture! Lower quality is not limited to loudspeakers.

Suggestion...get Magneplanars. Almost no wood, and what there is is real!
I have to go along with Jax2 and Nighthawk. I've got the curly maple Soliloquy 6.3's. The woodworking, construction and finish are wonderful. Sound is nice too!
