Anyone have any good ideas/photos of ways to build nice looking cabinets around 828 enclosures? I can't find any detailed photos of the Magnificents so far - if you know of any holler.

Below is the best example I've seen - and pretty darn nice it is, too!

Of course, I have to keep the 511's out of the port as my subs are going in there - so I'm thinking about something like a cross between a magnificent and a Model 19.

Thanks!

Yeah, you're pretty limited as to what you can do with large cabs out in the room, but up against the wall they can be made to look built-in. I've painted them to blend into the wall or covered them in matching drapery material and/or wallpaper, and of course there's veneer, Corian, formica, etc.. One lady friend with a strong artistic background painted hers to look like they were made from marble after I added Greek architectural styling ques and an extension to continue them to the ceiling.

Toss some of these types of possiblities out to the SO to get a feel for what she considers aesthetically acceptable.

GM,

Actually, my wife is so amenable that she claims not to mind the big, gray boxes and even suggested I get another set! However, I want to wow her with my cabinetmaking prowess - and generate a good excuse...er..._justification_ for some cool new woodworking tools!

Then get a book on fine furniture building.
