Hey guys. I am considering Axiom Audio speakers for my new HT. I think I would go with M60s. Also in the running are Aperion 633-t and AV123 x-statiks. I have heard really good things about these speakers and I think I will like the sound. However, what does give me pause is the vinyl finish. The aperion speakers offer a real wood, piano gloss for the same price as M60s w vinyl, and the x-statiks offer real wood rosewood veneer for the same as well.

Of course, sound quality is paramount, but that doesnt mean that I want my new speakers to look cheaper than they are. I know there is a sale going on right now, but I won;t have my act together in 10 days so its a pretty moot point.

I guess what I am looking for is any advice or pictures regarding this vinyl finish and how it would compare to these real wood finishes. Thanks in advance!!
