    RE: SMC AS40s

    The mids foam looks like it's had its day which is expected from these early speakers and the tweeter is widely available. Not that much work imo.

    That's an awful lot of work. The NS-1000 boxes are thick dense ply and heavily braced. Or at least the sectioned boxes I saw Yamaha displaying were. Just getting the rebates right would be pretty demanding.

    Stripping the poorly applied veneer off the cabinets of these ebay ones shouldn't be too hard. Then it's just a clean-up, make good and repaint. I could do it and so could other members.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    That's not a simple cabinet: They're more than 30Kg a piece so the advice is very sound.
    Main system: Sony TTS8000; AT1010; Audio Technica Art1; The Lentek; Cambridge 851n, Yamaha NS1000.

    I accept your superior knowledge on the NS1000 boxes - I have no knowledge of their construction.

    If you have a final settling on those speakers, the motivation to replicate and even improve may be worth it although a lot of work. I would perhaps consider if doing it making narrower fronted ones though.
    My most recent own boxes have 53 wood braces in each and are 'rock dead.

    I doubt a much narrower cabinet can be achieved, taking into acount the significant sidewall thickness.

    Pioneer PL-12D turntable at a £229 asking price. Ridiculous! It's not even complete, forty quid would be more like it.
