My retired FIL is an expert custom furniture maker with time on his hands. I have a pr of highly regarded Infinity R263 in black that either need to be replaced or changed to fit room aesthetics. Figure total cost to replace is about $1000, after selling these off and buying Polk R600. Unless I splurge and go higher, maybe used Revel F 206/208.
I'm intrigued with the idea of upgrading the R263 with veneer at least sides and top. If done well, the result could rival Revel F series in all aspects and we can choose the exact wood veneer we want.
Since many here in DIY have been there, done that...what advice would you give? Should we attempt to veneer the existing speakers to change from black to walnut OR sell/buy new?
