What type of brown finish?

This brown finish (pardon the mess, I have 2 small children and rearranged the living room to better handle the speakers):

I wish I had better pictures of it. It's a very subtle color but looks great.

And yes, that's Sean Casey's Yamamoto amp on the side there. A very interesting piece of gear, to say the least.

That brown doesn't look bad at all and I suspect my wife would have liked that better than the cosmic carbon.

I've got the same problem you appear to with a part of the sofa blocking a part of a speaker... I don't hear an obvious imbalance, but it drives me nuts knowing the interaction isn't ideal.

How does that Yamammoto drive your Souls? I've still gotta hear my Firstwatt with JFET update, but my limited experience tells me these speakers love tubes.

So, madmilkman you are the guy with the brown soul. Thanks for the pics. Now we need a full report on how they sound and what that yammy is doing for them.

Good to see more pictures but what's up with you people? You scared to go round the back or something? :)

Suspect there will be quite a few of us who recognise real world rooms like that. Good to see and, yes, actually the brown looks good.

My maple is wood rather than gloss or matte after much domestic negotiation. She's convinced it will look like the (supposedly maple) fireplace. I'm convinced it will look like the copper beech Hutter Racktime.

I shall post pictures and sound reports when the speakers arrive, however, I long ago abandoned any pretence at real photography when I acquired an iPhone. I suppose I could be sad; film it with the Flip HD and take some stills off of that.

Hey Zanon, madmilkman has posted pics of the soul with the designer/builders own 2 watt "yamplifier" Do you know something he doesn't? When are you getting your souls?
