White cabinet popularity?


From what I remember not many American companies have offered white cabinets for their various models.  I think more European companies do this.  But they remain a modest number of what is offered.

As we all know WAF can be a serious consideration with many audio purchases, particularly with speakers.  It seems to me that white cabinets can often be less obtrusive, particularly in larger models.

I recently purchased a pair of MoFi Sourcespoint 888s with white cabinets.  I'm loving the sonic presentation, but have been surprised by the number os positive comments I've received from visitors.  That is initially from the visual impact, and they age good sized floor standers.  I'll add the sonic comments have been uniformly positive when I provide a demo, even by those not involved in the audio hobby - "I'd so clear and detailed, it sounds like they are right in the room.".

Anyway, this makes me wonder if more models, particularly large floor standers, could be more acceptable if offered with white cabinets, or other (neutral) pale colors?

Kef look great in white, blue and gray. I always like Ushers wood finishes, like a fine piece of furniture. I also have a couple pairs of new revels in silver and white and a new pair of rel subwoofers in white. Get a lot of compliments on the white speakers.

Not a fan of white, especially the shiny ones, they don’t look appealing in most rooms. I love the natural wood look, check out the Fleetwood Deville SQ speakers, Johnathan can stain them beautifully to fit in your listing room. I just love the look of real wood,IMHO.


 

Always liked color like these Jamo R-907 open baffles. Even Rel made a dynamic red finish as a pretty cool option.

 

SVS offers great speakers in piano white.  I have the Ultra Bookshelf speakers in white.
