All standard: Eminence drivers and the base crossovers.

I have previously built a small 2-way but the veneer was not entirely successful. I'll need some help to decide what to do, but I'm inclined to go with a basic black paint.

I think you'll find that painting plywood or MDF is more work than veneer.

For $75 you can buy a 4x8 sheet of NBL (no black line) walnut, cherry or oak veneer from tape-ease.com. One sheet will do the front, top and sides of both speakers. Use the method described by Bob Brines for gluing it on http://www.brinesacoustics.com/Pages/Articles/Cabinet_Construction/Construction.html

You don't have to trim with a router, a sharp block plane or even a utility knife will do fine to get within an 1/8th, then sand flush.

Enjoy! (and go JBL and B&C as soon as you can!)
