speakers with Ebony finish

Ummmm, Albert, don't you think that almost $6k for the speaker cabinets alone would tend to bust his budget wide open? The guy is looking for fully-functional speakers for $2500-$4000, your suggestion would probably run $10,000 or more ready to play...

My suggestion? Check with some of the better-known mfgrs. (Taylor, Green Mountain, Meadowlark, etc.) and see what they can do for you.

I mistakenly wrote Taylor in my previous post, meant to write Tyler (I guess I crossed Tyler with Taylo and came up with Taylor - duh.) Looks like DrSeid had the same idea. Great minds think alike, huh? [smile]

Rockets and Onix from AV123 have ebony veneers.

I've mixed up Tyler and Taylo and ended up with Taylor quite a few times myself. It usually takes me a few times to get it right when I search or try to visit his webpage. Ty, why did you do this to us?

I've spoken with Pat, at Meadowlark, a few times and he will do custom finishes for you.

Veneer prices from oakwood veneer company for the 20mil paper backed stuff per sheet (32sq/ft):

Gaboon Ebony: $495.68 + shipping
Italian Ebony: $239.68 " "
Macassar Ebony: $447.68 " "

Good Luck,

Most speaker manufacturers will charge you for a full sheet unless they stock it. You'll be surprised about how much veneer is needed to cover all six sides of a speaker. A small pair of monitors can use over 10 sq/ft when you allow for trimming of waste.

Rlwainwright, read carefully. The G&R speakers that Albert recommended are fully assembled at this price.
