even tho I have read everything in this thread, i got really lost there for a while. I knew nothing about what was being talked about. I did begin to realize that there are hundreds of ways to build/manufacture speakers and sound systems. I told a while back about the cabinet my dad had built to hold a "Victrola" hand cranker with the cow horn megaphone to put out sound. Thru the years, that cabinet has received many changes in the sound methods used and the qualities of the sound. Once Mom. my brother and I moved back together, we added radio to the cabinet along with better quality phonograph. Each time we upgraded, Mom had a different person (Xpurt) work on it. Sometimes for better, sometimes, not so much. Now, even tho i understand nothing about what has been said about sound systems, i do understand that with each "upgrade", a different audio Xpurt might have been aiming for a different result. As i remember some of our complaints thru those years, i have a little better understanding of why many results seemed to have gone in different directions.
Luke, you continue to hit very educational and enlightening directions to your posts. i can not tell you enough how much i enjoy learning from your subjective contributions. You just seem to suck in so much wisdom from all of the responders who are curious enough to enter into your lair.
Oh, BTW: Even tho i have not tried the vac bag method for veneering, i have learned one more thing I had not read about it the past. That little number about supporting the edges of the veneer around open holes, as another has mentioned, I,also, would not have thought about that. That was a small note, but will be well cataloged in my dim brain.
