I was curious if any of you out there have these finishes and could provide pictures? I've PM'd a few people I know have them, but have not heard back.

I have the ebony finish on my whole system. I don't have a way to get any pictures to you though. They won't photo well anyway, the ebony is a matte finish that reflects absolutely no light at all. The photo's on the website make it look like they have silver specks in the finish, but in truth they are all black.

Thanks man, I wonder if there is any difference in the quality of the vinyl wrap on standard versus customer vinyls, or is it just more selection? My Mansfields are top quality...

I think it's just more choices. A friend has some Axioms with the stock finish and there doesn't appear to me that there is any quality gap between our speakers.

As far as I know the difference between custom finishes and stock finishes is that Axiom routinely builds speakers with the stock finishes, prefabricates stacks of MDF sheets with the stock vinyl, and loads multiple speakers onto a single big panel of pre-vinyl'ed MDF, while custom finishes have to be made as-ordered and so lose a lot of production efficiencies. The custom-ness probably implies some extra care throughout the process ("don't put your coffee on that M60, it's a custom order ) or we would see Factory Outlet speakers with custom finishes more often.

As someone who has both types of vinyl (custom and standard), I don't believe there are any quality differences between the two. They're both very nice. Although I'd love to get matching QS4s sometime...

I can add in here, I've spent a lot of time handling samples of both the custom shop and standard stock finishes - all of them in fact. And while there are some "weight" differences between them, they all seem a near identical quality.
Maybe one of the Axiomites might give their $0.02 on the manufacturing process, but as far as the raw material goes, it's all very good.

There is no difference in quality between the standard and custom vinyls offered by Axiom. We keep the standard vinyls in stock and the custom vinyls are special ordered. Hope this helps.
