Has anyone ever used corian as cabinet material? I have access to a cabinet /counter company and can occasionally get scraps of corian at little to no cost. Due to it's density, weight, and non-porous properties, it looks like it would make a good speaker cabinet material at first glance. What are your thoughts and experiences?
Prima faciae it shouldn't be bad -- although not easy to work with (think of rounding or bending corian sides; I think you need special equip).
Gilmore uses corian for his open baffles and some others have used it for the front baffle...

i seem to recall that the fellow who installed our corian countertops used a carbide routing bit -- these are somewhat more expensive than high speed steel. Corian can take a lot of punishment.

Yup, corian is a joy to machine with good quality, sharp, carbide bits. You will need a decent high power router though. Make sure you use a dustmask!
anyone know what drivers that gilmore uses in their OB? That looks like a very easy desgin to clone.
They're "proprietary" which means someone is manufacturing them to Glacier Audio's specs. Don't know who the manufacturer is though.
