Mine look nothing like the Q's above in the pic, so I can assume the new 22's I received are in fact the old finish.
The pics you posted earlier in the thread are most definately the same as my M22's which are the old finish.
I just wanted to clarify that my last posted pics of the different finishes were taken in the exact same spot with the exact same lighting. Although the picture of the old finish appears gray it is just the light shining on it.
To me these finishes are VERY different, but as they are surrounds most people may not even notice this. Let's say your center and surrounds were the 2 different finishes, most people would notice right away.
