Dude, I love those rounded corners. Looks excellent - Makes 'em look like they were carved out of a huge block of wood.

About a million years ago, I used to make all my cabinets with rounded corners. Painted cabs were easy, but my cabinetmakers threw fits on the veneered boxes because of their reject rate. Half the time the veneer would crack when they applied it around the corners, even with the biggest radiuses. So they encouraged me (like the mafia) to do some tests to prove to myself whether or not it mattered. I relented that it didn't change the sound enough to be audible, but it sure does look great. I think it gives 'em a special quality, something most loudspeaker cabinets don't have.
