DB1

Built one at a time in the shop, this compact stereo speaker pairs a figured maple front — chosen for the shimmer and depth in its grain — with a warm walnut cabinet. Every panel is solid hardwood, so the sound has a richness and resonance that a plastic enclosure simply can’t match. At 11” × 16” × 6”, it’s sized to live comfortably on a shelf, desk, or nightstand while still filling the room.

Part instrument, part furniture, it’s the kind of piece meant to be handed down — as good to look at as it is to listen to.
