Well the towers are complete. They are built with 3/4" MDF with bracing and insulation per plans. The veneer is cherry that I applied via the glue/iron method. It was very frustrating and they still do not look good, lots of bubbles. It was probably due to the weather and humidity. After a lot of effort they were flat, then after the first coat of laquer, sprayed with an HVLP sprayer, more bubbles appeared. I decided to listen to the for a few months and try again this spring. They do sound great and having the center channel match is great. Running the fronts with a 150HZ filter. Overall I love the sound, just got to work out the veneer issues. Next time I might just build with Baltic Birch and stain the birch.
The new flexi racks are stained in the same color has the towers, I like the overall look.
Still trying to decide if I should make the screen smaller, or just ignore, since when watching 2.35:1 movies it is goes unnoticed.
The pics..
