Cherry and Mesquite are American forest products so likely not available in Australia. Suspect equivalent species with similar look do though....I will speak to my cabinet maker to see what is available.

I think you will have good results from offering such a varied wood selection. I sold MB Quart and they came in many very nice exotic woods and finishes and after the customers saw them and thought about them they started coming in to buy and the stock rapidly depleted. It took about 6 weeks after we started carrying the inventory for the customers to organize their thoughts and take the plunge. We would see the people walking around and when they saw the nice woodgrains they would stop there. It's like honey to bees. The type of customer meant that they where not as concerned about price as they where about getting the right product. That's what you want.Indeed, I assumed so .
This site shows a range of Australian woods. Not saying that they will all be available or even suitable, but it can provide a frame of reference for the appearance.

You'll note that my second list is strictly from Oz... -- I had the chance to live in Brisbane for a year, and I miss it terribly. Reminders of my time there are always welcome.An Australian speaker cabinet-maker in Adelaide (not sure if he's your guy too) I spoke to uses jarrah, eucalyptus etc. I personally think going with Australian veneers much more interesting than the other finishes mentioned you can find elsewhere. Just a thought.
Thank you for the kind words, and yes its my design.Looks to me like you've done a superb job of integrating cutting-edge drivers and juggling the inevitable tradeoffs while remaining focused on and true to your priorities. I just hope there's some profit margin in there for you at the end of the day.
Are you the designer?
Very best wishes for your success with this speaker.

Just been talking with our cabinet supplier about available woods. Initially we will be concentrating on timber available locally in the Western Australian region.
This isnt an exhaustive list, but probably covers a range of tastes.

Im getting a pair made from Sheoak for a test. It has an interesting grain and darker than the picture above when finished. Below is a picture of it "wetted" to give an idea.

Eucalyptus looks lovely on the smaller harbeth speakers.
