Jake - Your pictures actually inspired me to think about this solution earlier today. BTW - Love the way yours look! Didn't think that I would dig on the Maple - but they really look awesome in your living room.

I also agree with you, though, JSkip - I am also leaning towards getting all the same finish and just accepting the fact (let me rephrase - hope my wife will just accept the fact) that speakers hanging on the wall a necessary evil.

It'll be a tough choice. I may regret one-day not having a matching set....but I think the maple will blend in better in the meantime (with the tan grille)
