Black Ash.....

...is the speaker finish that never should have been allowed to escape the bowels of hell. It is the parkay floors of speaker finishes.

Black Ash is the universal declaration of "cheap-#ssed speakers" or, even worse, if chosen as the finish on even a relatively expensive or quality speaker, it’s the sign that the purchaser has lost his mind or was likely wearing cargo shorts, socks and sandals at the time of purchase.

Where do you stand on this?

You are either with me or against me.

"It was good enough for Henry Ford....."
Thanks. I just learned that Ford T was initially actually produced in different colors before turning black because of the quickest-drying paint.

Maybe speaker manufacturers have some practical secret why they like black ash.

I resisted joining, but once mullets and stonewashed jeans got mentioned, it was time to get it straight.

Are you a man enough to wear a mullet and stonewashed jeans?

When it comes to speakers, I see no problem with black ash (co)existing. The problem is lack of other choices at most of the manufacturers. They should charge something extra and, after some wait, you should be able to get your speakers in different colors. The way some cars can be ordered.

If you ever see yellow Revel speakers, it may be due to a dealer promising me he would bring it up under "what customers are saying" at some meeting they had at headquarters in California.
