??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ???

 Just polished up my Rosewood finished Tablette Anniversaries, using some Murphy Wood Cleaner,lamenting my stupidity for selling the Ebony finished versions I had 3 years ago & started thinking about all the speakers I've owned over 55 odd years in this hobby...
 Hands down I'm a real wood veneer lover..Give me a stunning Ebony veneer finish with Rosewood my second fav...I will admit though,there was something about those Gloss Orange Heco Aurora's I had that could bring a smile to my face...
 How about you?

Louis of Omega Speakers did a beautiful job on a custom pair of speakers in African Padauk.  The speakers match the solid Padauk cabinet on my Erhard Ray SET amp.

This wood darkens over time and becomes very rich and even more stunning.  I appreciate many different woods/veneers in different applications, but for audio gear this is unique wood with great character. 

P.S.  I just acquired a pair of Wharfedale Super Lintons with matching stands in Walnut veneer.  The quality of the veneer work and grain of the wood is beautiful to be sure. (Fortunately, they sound every bit as good as they look.)

I just ordered a set of speakers in Olive Ash Burl. They look amazing.
