Furniture grade wood finish look fantastic. I really do appreciate the classic look. When it came to building my speakers, I wanted them to more closely resemble a hot rod, because these things are much more in that theme sound wise. They are painted candy blue pearl, with silver logos for the model on the side, silver leaf logo for the brand on the front, trim black paint for the top and black cloth for the top cover. The color will absolutely glow in any light, the sparkles will give off different colors depending on the lighting location, and they are glossy enough to double as a mirror. The look isn't for everyone, but it's damn fun for my system.
??? 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?

As I stated in my prior post, I love a beautiful wood finish especially when the speaker is a part of your home decor. However, in my dedicated audio room, the matt black finish on my main speakers and subs is ideal for me. In a dimly lit room only the sound remains and the gear fades into darkness. Scientific fact: when the brain does not have to waste neuron loops on visual distractions, more of your attention focuses on the music! I always felt good about the fact all my audio dollars went towards good sound in this system. |
@corelli true BUT,you can always turn the lights off so as to not be distracted by a beautiful finish,you can NOT however make an ugly finish disappear in the daylight. |
