  Here's the stack, from top to bottom:
  
  1/8" 6061 Aluminum
  1/8" Hardboard
  3/4" MDF
  3/4" Gator Foam
  3/4" MDF
  1/8" Hardboard
  1/8" 7075 Aluminum (harder material to provide a surface for the Rollerblock Balls)
  
  Of course below the Rollerblock Jrs. is plain ol' Maple.
  
  These things sound very nice, much better than the Maple alone...

    Personally I would have either painted the MDF of edged the platforms with wood.
    And before any one tells me that that would attach the layers together, it's easy to cut the MDF a few mills bigger in each direction and keep the trim off the other layers.
    It adds significantly to the WAF.
    In the long run you have to live with this stuff and not paying attention to those details, for me least, detracts from how much I enjoy being in the room.

      Well... I haven't finished them at all yet, but black paint would be my choice. These amps are actually in a closet, completely out of sight. Not only is the whole setup ugly, but without tube cages... well let's just say it's best that they are in a closet.
