That's kind of what I was thinking, that the satin would just look, well, flat. I think a little shine would brighten things up a bit.

As far as uv exposure, there's a skylight above the place where the speakers sit. I wonder if the top sides would end up being a different shade than the undersides. I wonder if I should re-coat them with something to protect them from uv light then?
