At this point, I doubt many speakers in this price range will have real wood veneer because the cost of veneer for most wood species has increased and the techniques/machinery needed to make clean cuts on veneered substrate are more expensive than before. The veneer isn't applied after the cabinets have been assembled, the joints are miter cut and need to be extremely accurace in order to look good.
Real wood cabinets need to be considered 'furniture' and the veneer adds nothing to the sound or value, just the price, IMO.
