I was alway told that what made solid wood excellent for musical instruments is horrible for speakers. All "tone-wood" should be avoided, but yet, there are those who are building cabinets with solid planks.BTW, Cambridge Audio CD player. I like a man who understands value. I got my Azur last year and I have not desire to "upgrade" to one of those other trendy $2000 CDP. Money's better spend on software.
