Prettiest speaker wood
08/24/24 at 18:45:28

My question to you all is this, what is the prettiest wood for speakers?

I had my pair of Koa speakers out in my garage doing some maintenance and decided to throw a coat of beeswax on them to spiffy them up.

Wowza, I had forgotten how pretty the Koa is.

So what do you have that is prettier than my Koa?

That's very pretty. I think I would love a pair of speakers in purple heartwood, but that is expensive and hard to work with I hear.

My favorite speaker wood finish that I have is a pair of maple HR-1. Maple may be nothing special, but with the balck speaker housing and speaker, and the black top and bottom, it matches my maple Mapleshade Audio Samson Ver. 3 rack with maple platforms and black components so very very well.
