If I applied 2.5mm thick veneers to the cabinet would it change the sound in any perceivable or measurable way? Speaker in question is travelers by Holtz and Campbell
I would say no.would it change the sound in any perceivable or measurable way?
You could try to compare the diffraction results using vituixcad or "the edge".
It is possible that adding 2.5mm of veneer to the walls might slightly increase their rigidity and also change their resonance characteristics. But I strongly doubt you'd hear much difference unless the original walls were pretty flexible or light (e.g. foam-board).
The tiny dimensional change would (IMO) make no audible difference in a typical speaker cabinet.
