Hello,
I have two questions that I am currently trying to resolve. Input would be appreciated.
1 ) Have you an opinion on side vs front venting? I have heard that music/sound does come out of the vent, and should be directed into the room (recommending front venting). Also heard that various chuffing and breating sounds emanate from the vent, so the vents are better placed on the sides. I certainly don't want to punch a bunch of holes in the cabs to experiment......
2) I have read about materials choices for the cabinets, and understand baltic birch plywood is highly favored (along with MDF). I also understand the issues with solid wood. However, I have spotted a local place that sells 'recycled' or 'reclaimed' wood. It would seen that this product, if in good condition (physical and appearance), would not have most of the concerns that have been raised about wood in general. It should have stabilized and dried out over the decades, and one might assume that the density of the vintage wood would be greater than the current product. If they have 3/4 or 1" thick product that could be used to build a cabinet, might that be a suitable choice, or would baltic birch ply still be the winner ??
regards -- Roger
