Paul: I agree with Twl. Too much oil will saturate the veneer and then soak into / soften the adhesives below. Adhesives deteriorate with age as it is, so no need to speed up the process.
I typically apply a reasonably even coat of lemon oil on one speaker and then move onto the second speaker. By the time i've finished the second speaker, a great majority of the oil has already been sucked into the wood on the first speaker. I'll typically go back over the first with a light coat and then hit the second with the same.
In the HT system, i'll do all seven cabinets ( mains, center, surrounds, two subs ) and then hit them all again in the same order. Just polishing all of my speakers pretty much eats up an entire Sunday, so they don't get done as often as they should. As such, i should probably start looking into something that is both a polish and a wax. This should hold up a little longer and protect the finish a little better at the same time. Sean
