That looks very much like Philippine Mahogany to me. (FWIW: I don't think I can tell the difference between true mahogany and Philippine Mahogany in photos, so I'd say the same for true Honduran Mahogany).
And the little details look very similar. Very odd. Maybe Urban Aire produced some other designs in Philippine Mahogany.
Oh, and the rough underside of that timber in your photo seems like what I would expect based on my chair. The "skin contact" surfaces were very nicely finished, but elsewhere they could care less.
no big deal
I purchased the Harman Kardon Signature 2.0 Series 5.1 processor and Signature 2.1 Series 5.1 amplifier for $68.00 at Goodwill. They are both fully functional, cosmetically excellent and made in the USA.
The clean lines are "easy on my eye". The specifications are above average (not 2013 audiophile grade).
I hope to use these with two pairs of Vienna Acoustics Schönberg speakers (I have one pair in storage). This would be a secondary (bedroom) system.
Should this project require too much energy or time I will give the processor and amplifier to my father (the Vienna Acoustics speakers stay).
Spanky: I'll let you know if...
Spanky: I'll let you know if it tangles on me. I expect it will. But if in case I accidentally stumbled onto something that makes it not tangle I will try and figure out what that is, I will try to be conscious of what that is and report back.
It was very thoughtful of Frank to send the thing in a box pre-sized to have a hole cut in the top for me to pull cord out of.
