Alternative for BB?

#1 Post by dlv »

Got an email from my local supplier (Phoenix AZ) about Birch "Super Core". Supposed to be much like BB, all hardwood core with same layer count, but a lot cheaper. Anyone ever use it or anything like it?

4 x OT-12's with CD horns

Simplex 10/12 wedges
Simplex subs

What matters the most is the number of plies, so it looks pretty good. However, it also looks like the outer layer may be a thin veneer. If that's the case it would be best to fasten with screws rather than brads.
