What's your favorite speaker finish?


There are so many beautiful wood veneer speaker finishes that manufactures offer in there premium lines....What are some of your favorites? Cherry, Mahogany, Birdseye Maple, Yew, Rosewood, Walnut etc?

Wow....wasn't expecting so many responses. The reason I created this thread has to do with the fact that I like many of the finishes available. I am waiting to receive a pair of ProAc's in Yew which should be interesting. According to many Yew along with Ebony are supposedly some of the most beautiful veneers in the ProAc line. Maybe that is why there is a several hundred dollar premium for them. It was a tough call though, the dark red mahaogany, light cherry as well as birdeyes maple were all very tempting.
Thanks for the great website Ed. Glad to see I am not the only one who would chose black as a last choice. Although on the right speaker (Wilson) black lacquer is beautiful. Flat black or black ash is another story.....
