Black goes with everything. You get a specific wood-like finish (light or dark), and you can end up locked into that type of finish for the rest of your decor. There are good things and bad things about any "color," but black is as close as your gonna get to a "universal" finish.
There is no reason to avoid any particular finish. The important thing is to get what YOU like. If you don't find black "boring," then, by all means, get it. If you like cherry, then, by all means, get that. After all, who's going to be looking at these speakers the most.
