If I remember correctly the last time that the free upgrade to high gloss cherry was offered was a couple years ago around this time. It started in August and only lasted a couple months at the most. The reason for doing it was that it was being discontinued apparently. So, I am confused. Why is this finish still around? I purchased my speakers when this free upgrade was available and the only reason that I didn't do the free upgrade was because it was supposed to be discontinued. I even called and asked them about this and this is what they said. So if I wanted to upgrade to m80's somewhere down the line I wouldn't be able to get a matching finish. This kind of makes me mad because I thought that it was a beautiful finish and would have went with it otherwise.
