I'm thinking of building a set of speakers based on the M5 Classic Two at audioexcite:
www.audioexcite.com >> Classic Two – M5
For cabinet construction though I was considering something a bit more retro 70's (B&O BEOVOX kind of vibe)
BeoVox 1200 Passive Loudspeakers
I hate veneering though and was thinking about the possibility of using solid pine furniture board for the top, bottom and sides of the cabinet:
Wickes General Purpose Pine Timberboard - 18mm x 200mm x 2350mm | Wickes.co.uk
I regularly use this for furniture building as it gets round a lot of the problems with cut/planed pine. It is straight, temperature and moisture stable and has a more uniform density.
Question is whether, combined with an MDF baffle and plenty of internal bracing, it would make a decent loudspeaker cabinet.
Anyone tried anything like this?
Cheers.
