    4345 Project Questions Again...

    Can anyone tell me...were the bottom of 4345's just painted black & not veneered?
    I suspect they attached the base & then painted black but thought I'd ask.
    Thanks in advance

    Can't help you with "original" but the bottom of at least one pair of Riessen reproductions aren't veneered. The bottoms are just painted black (with the exception of the front-face molding edge), and the base plinth pieces are black, too. Not that you need a photo, but now's the time to ask if you do!

    Well, my original JBL 4341s are veneered on all sides -
    with a factory black painted particle board plinth screwed onto the bottom.
    That said, does it matter?

    Who watches the bottom of the cabinet when magnificent 18s are playing!
