That would be good. Also look into un box like cabinet shapes. Angled shapes there’s even a dude out there that makes clear acrylic? Cabinets. Also driver rings that cover the screws for a clean look. Options to install magnets on the inside baffle for magnetic grills. Strive to make the end product as UN DIY looking as possible.
Great ideas! I'd be interested in a mate black Corian front baffle with large, nearly beveled chamfered edges in matte black to reduce visual reflections. Cherry would be my choice of veneer. I'm very interested in the new LD25X-WG tweeter and how you plan to integrate it in your designs (admittedly because it looks really cool!)
We are still working through potential ways to do larger chamfers, rounders, and facets. The Corian (and most other solid surface materials) only come in 1/2" and 1/4" thicknesses so you'd need several layers glued together to be able to do that.
The glue you need to join Corian isn't something we could easily include in the kit and not something you can buy at any store so it would be hard to offer it as a DIY option. We could do potentially do finished speakers in all Corian though.
@@kerryarmes2786 Thanks for the quick reply. Makes sense...I assume joining the Corian to wood or MDF doesn't present the same challenge? Any thoughts on developing an open baffle speaker?
@@roberts3889 The Corian has to be glued to the MDF or plywood but a flexible adhesive works well for this and is more readily available. Coupled with screws that will go loosely through the Corian and tighten into the MDF sub-baffle, it holds well with no issues.
Very good ideas and anything that isn't plain would be great.

Absolutely follow through with this idea ❤
Oh yes please. Im saving up for Criton 3, would be interested in corian flat black front baffle but I am good to veneer the rest

Sounds great, no pun intended, I would love to see the cherry.
I wondering about taking the square corners off a Corian baffle. Testing that might be worth your effort.
The final version will have a chamfered edge on the front baffle
Great idea. Why not an entire cabinet made from Corian?
