I am finishing a pair of speaker cabinets made of MDF, and want to put the kind of finish on them that you see on a Steinway piano i.e. Jet black high gloss. Does anyone have any idea of how this is done?

Bioman,
Google is your friend.
Here's just one page of many for "piano finish."
http://www.lungster.com/l/speakers/pianofinish.shtml
(much easier for me to post that link than personally describe the depth of information on that page).
Use Meguiar's "Scratch X" as the final rub out of black lacquer that has cured at least a week. You will have a surface that looks like black glass a foot deep.
