In a thread about Brutal's recent score of a nice looking pair of L55s, I commented on how I liked the look of the glass top speakers. http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/s...ad.php?t=17674
I mentioned I'd gotten glass cut for all my big speakers - but I didn't want to hijack his thread, so I'm posting the pictures here.
I know laying a sheet of glass on top to protect them isn't the same as the recessed glass of the L55s or similar models - then again, I get to enjoy the grain underneath, instead of the black felt and logo ...
I'd never done it before, but when I got the B-380, in the winter its under a hanging spider plant and I wanted to protect it from any possible over watering ...
Once I did that, I decided it just made sense to protect the L200s the same way ... they were the front speakers in the room at the time - kind of a matched set. (They're now upstairs).
And when I got the 4341s ... well, the veneer was surprisingly good, so again ... it just made sense to protect them.
1/4 bronze smoked glass cut to order was about $27 a piece - cheap!
