Minimus 7W - Turning a good original cabinet back into a great original
I have been lucky/blessed/obsessive enough to find three sets of original, 40-2039 no-suffix Minimus 7W with the walnut veneered baffle. There are a lot of speaker refinishing threads, most of them by people far more experienced in woodworking than I am. But I thought I would share my... -

KLF-20 Cabinets with a gouge
Recently acquired my first set of Klipsch, a pair of KLF-20's. Has a half dollar size gouge in the side that I feel compelled to remedy as overall the cabinets needed some love.
