Just in case anyone is interested, we were looking at some numbers today, and tan grilles outsell black grilles on maple speakers 9:1. The same ratio is holding true with the new beech finish. We had figured the number would be closer to 50/50 (eh, Curtis?)
Cables should be launched by tomorrow!

Interesting indeed! Perhaps, people have gotten sick of the oh-so-ordinary black grill???

Amie, will the new speaker grills be available for purchase by themselves, I would be interested in replacing my black ones that came with my M3Ti's.

I think the home theater is becoming less and less the exclusive domain of the man and falling prey to the decorative wiles of wives everywhere...

I remember the maple M22's had a very light colored (almost flesh colored) grill. It just looked bad.
BUT...the pair of M60's that Curtis had for awhile I thought looked very nice in maple. Did they have the same grills?

BTW, everyone, I bounced the M60s off of my wife, and she asked how big they were. When I told her they were 9 inches wide, etc, she said they were TOO SMALL!!!! She says she likes my subwoofer, because it blends into the furniture. The sub is about 2.5 ft high, 14" wide, 8" deep. Therefore, I'm back to the M22s. Sigh.
So Amie, how about those M90s you showed us pictures of? ;-)

Nope...Amie sent the dark grills because I didn't like the light colored ones.

You mean she wants more than 9"? Dayammm. 
In all seriousness, though, perhaps you need to pay spiffnme a visit next time you're in LA to see the M60s in person.

Yeah, or maybe I should stop shooting so high, and actually buy speakers I can afford. ;-)
Your wife isn't reading over your shoulder any more, is she? :-D
