Bamboo veneer, yes? I can't imagine bamboo can be harvested and cut in such a way to make cabinets totally from bamboo.
If the speakers do have bamboo veneer, how can this substantially effect the sound of the speakers, considering the majority of the cabinet material will be MDF or similar material?
Also, bamboo is basically giant grass. We have it in our garden. Unlike trees, bamboo continues to send up new shoots when mature stalks are cut down...just like grass. It's incredibly cheap, which is why it's used in inexpensive furniture (until it's recent marketing boom as a chic designer product).
It may be eco-friendly, but in my opinion, a speaker with bmboo veneer should be less expensive than it's rosewood counterpart, and any claims that the bamboo contributes to better sonics is suspect.
Bamboo sure looks cool, though.
