The poll may have not been much help (50/50 split) but the advice was invaluable. Ultimately it was my choice, and it was a difficult one. I went back and forth a several times.
And the winner is...
Cherry Natural Satin.
I decided to go with matching the woodwork in the room. And while not an exact match, it is pretty close. I absolutely love the speakers. They are stunning. They are beautiful, and they sound wonderful (as always). Great product, fast shipping, and great service. Neadless to say I am impressed. Bravo Axiom.
Anyway, here are some more pics. You do like posts with pics, don't you?
