Ken,
What is the finish on your Cambridge sub that got a high WAF? Just curious...

Matte black. No texture. Go fig. I've always thought it stuck out a lot.
Of course, a projector gets a low WAF with her, as does a horizontal center channel.
I think she'd prefer it if the speakers were in real wood, but I'm not about to sacrifice the Axiom sound and tons of money to get it.

Ken, a front projector gets a low WAF (Shawn -- it is Wife Acceptance/Approval Factor), even if it is ceiling-mounted? I believe that an FP usually results in a higher WAF, simply by eliminating a decor-dominating big-box TV -- especially when combined with a retractable (pulldown) screen.

My maple M22's (and M2is) looked horrible in that "flesh colored" tan. They look so much better in the black grill. To my eyes it just goes better.
I've got some extra grills if someone wants them.

Yup. She's really practical. We rent right now, and even if we didn't, I think there's just something about it that doesn't appeal. I don't quite understand it either, but whatever. I'm not about to buy a new TV any time soon. (not until they figure out the HDTV standards).

Hey johnbasham -
We do have the grilles available separately - prices include shipping as usual.
Grilles
Grille cloth color definitely depends on how your room looks. We wouldn't get away with 11 speakers in our home theater setup if we had the black grilles - with the tan they just disappear. But in other rooms, it's high-contrast or bust!

I should have told ya not to send the grills when i got my speakers. coulda saved me 75 bucks lol. I dont use em anyway. Not that it doesnt look good. i just dont like em on there. no matter how "invisible" they are supposed to be i believe it still affects the sound.

Perhaps... the grill will tame the bright sound of the Axioms? Maybe... Maybe...

I think the brown ones will tame the brightness better. its a scientific fact (shamelessly borrowed from another thread here )
