I have cherry across the front (M60's & VP150)and I originally ordered maple QS8 surrounds with tan grills. I struck a deal with my better half in that I could hang speakers on the wall if they matched the decor, our living room walls are a grayish/white and the trim is bright white, therefore the surround speakers are to be white (according to the boss). Looking at the Axiom web page the maple finish appeared to have a whitish finish so we took a gamble and ordered maple. We received the order and well the maple finish wasn't exactly white but more of a natural wood or pickled oak finish. I thought they were pretty sharp looking, but the wife thought otherwise. Ended up special ordering eggshell white finish QS8's with eggshell white grills. Have to admit they do look better, but it will cost you $95.00 for the special finish. Axiom even personalizes each one with your name being printed on the speaker ID tag.
