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.

All I could do is laugh as I looked over my sea of black ash speakers, subwoofers, and about 3 dozen flat black record crates.


We can't be friends.

But hey, at least I've got wood paneling in my house, that must count for something on the classy scale.

Ha!  It's like the audiophile equivalent of "The Trolley Problem"!

Either not buy them or buy them and have them re-finished.


Cripes, had to go to Best Buy recently.  Ended up in the audio/home theater section.  It was nothing but a sea of Black Ash speakers as far as the eye could see (mostly Polk).   The stuff of nightmares.
I needed time in my "safe space" afterwards.
