iso Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 This issue is not strictly AR-related... but may interest you too. My former employee who used to import AR- and BA-speakers did also import Carlsson speakers made in mid 80`s. I bought this pair few times ago. One cab has suffered from water damage and particleboard is like in the second picture. Loudspeaker base is sound and not swelled but looks a bit ugly...any ideas how to improve looks without using paint to hide watermarks? Direct vs. reflected sound issue has been discussed AR-forum quite often. Stig Carlsson published ideas behind his "Ortho-Acoustic"-series speakers. https://www.carlssonplanet.com/en/download/carlsson-ortho-acoustic-loudspeakers-design-and-performance-principles-english/ This is quite long summary about design principles, but it may interest some of you.

genek Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'd dye it instead of painting it. Use an alcohol-based stain, rather than a water-based. Wood finishing products are labeled "NGR" (non grain raising). You can also buy smaller bottles of alcohol based dye from leathercraft stores.
