What your's favorite speaker cabinet finish guys?

I generally like black but I also like a medium to dark cherry color as well.

Not a big fan of the lighter colors.

Ebony Or Piano Gloss Black

Black or Cherry

Jello · 12-21-2008, 12:27 AM

Black Ash is wicked ... actually I think it is burn't black ash as they are kinda stinky LoL

I also have a set of Klipsch Heresy speakers that are unfinished...not sure what to do with them... so I would have to say that unfinished is my favorite as they have the most potential

I don't like black speakers. I prefer Cherry or Walnut. You can change the color and appearance of your speakers, particularly if they have a lot of scratches.

Rosenut, Birdseye Maple, and whatever THIS is....

JJ · 12-21-2008, 01:54 AM

My favorite, that I've seen and held, is the glossy rosenut finish of some Paradigm speakers. That dark red is gorgeous! It would be a perfect fit in my bedroom...once...I...buy...them...

That's the color.

CasualKiller · 12-21-2008, 02:03 AM

Light Cherry and Walnut.

That is not a Paradigm subwoofer.

It is the ULS-15 subwoofer from Hsu Research.

...I know. I just put up "rosenut" on an image search and got that color. And it looks the same as the Paradigm shade I liked. I didn't say that's the sub, I said, "that's the color"

I will forgive you if you buy two of them.

Cherry!

I love my Energy speaker cabinets finished in cherry. Black ash is ok for a college dorm. In my listening room cherry looks more ravishing and blends in better with my decor. WAF = 100% too.

This here would probably be mine, also my dream speakers:

red_5ive · 09-21-2009, 06:36 AM

I like all black or piano black/black lacquer + medium to dark wood combos and is one reason why I went with Rocket 850s (black lacquer + rosewood).

Big Daddy · 09-21-2009, 06:55 AM

These are my favorite speaker cabinets. People will think that you have invited two priests to your home theater room.

These speakers are made in France.

I could have sworn I saw those walking around the Mos Eisely Cantina on Tatooine.

Probably black gloss or santos rosewood for me but then again, I don't mind the alpi wood veneer on my Euphonias either

I like all colours as long as they match aesthetically in a room.
