Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Pictures of real wood speakers

I love real wood, but I have been pretty damn impressed with the High Gloss Cherry (in vinyl). The real wood adds a significant premium. I priced a pair of M60s in High Gloss Rosewood, and the price went up almost 100%. Ouch. But, you should know that real wood veneers can be added over the cheaper vinyl later. So perhaps you order the speakers now in a simple finish, and get a nice real wood veneer added later when a few hundred bucks seems like a great deal for nicer veneers. Just a thought.

Oh, and sorry to hear about the ill conceived home theater. I think your experience is the more the norm than the exception. Few people know anything about room design, and fewer want to learn. I know contractors that build homes that often construct HT rooms that don't know anything about wires, speakers, reflections, etc. Glad found another man cave. I had to steal the dining room.
