??? 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?

Yes the rosewood on my infinity irs v needs love and care but it's beautiful.had tyler acoustics do me a set of d 10 with the new satori textreme 4 x 9.5 2 x 6.5 and one be tweeter in rosewood. Sound like rockports. My next fav is aluminum on q7 magico and krell.dead silent no resonance you don't wrap these with the knuckle test it hurts.enjoy the polishing and the music

 Last August I purchased a pair of Legacy Signature SE in an exotic Cabernet Sappele Pommele finish. To me , they are stunning. First time owning a high gloss finish, and I supposed they need to be babied more than a black oak, but boy are they gorgeous. The best part is my wife LOVES them. Oh, I absolutely love the sound also....

Not a fan of severe or wide grain finishes like zebra or tiger wood as I find them a little visually distracting although attractive in an exotic kinda way.  I really like the reddish-brown Sapele finish on Joseph Audio speakers.

@winoguy17  Ages ago I had Legacy Signature III in rosewood (not gloss). The finish was stunning - they nailed it! Sort of regret selling those. Sapele is a lovely wood too, similar to Mahogany. I really enjoy woods with rich deep reds & browns. I trust Legacy is doing even nicer finishes these days. 

I have an older SOTA turntable with Koa wood chassis and that’s probably my favorite wood - it’s highly iridescent in light. But it might be too distracting over a large speaker, and it’s hard to get now.
