Well tastes and styles change a bit over time with the up to date style for room furniture I think. I also noted that speaker manufacturers sometimes roll out a new veneer style with a new line to put emphasis on the new speakers with a fresh appearance as well.
My preferred one is maple (see the Tidal speakers in my system :-)). But I also like the mappa burl, sycamore, macassar ebony (the one with red-brown streaks in the black ebony). Even spalted maple sometimes looks great, albeit a bit over dramatic on big surfaces.
