These are pictures of my personal GR Research AV2 home theater speakers. I have 3 of these as my fronts and center. I love these speakers, great bang for the buck. I covered these in cherry veneer and applied a 50/50 solution of Boiled Linseed Oil and semi-gloss poly. These have 9 coats on them and were then rubbed out with paste wax and 0000 steel wool for a velvety smooth feel.
