Chris you are looking at the High Gloss cherry and every once in awhile Axiom has had a free upgrade to this custom finish, believe it or not, it is still vinyl.

Thanks, I think they look awesome and as mentioned, this is the High Gloss Cherry Vinyl found here

"Custom Matte Finishes are available at an extra charge of 12% per model. Click on the samples to see a larger version of the color."

Spend the extra dough if you like the finish and pick them up in person to save money The shipping is free (included in price) but if you call Axiom I'm sure they'll give you a rebate on pick up as some have received one in the past. I believe around 8% so really the finish only costs 4% plus half a tank of gas

As for mixing impedance between fronts, center and rear I don't think you need to worry about it.

That's some nice looking finish, Hay. I would never have guessed that was NOT real veneer, WOW! BTW what's that little morsel on the top of the speaker?

And you would say the same thing with a pair of each sitting in front of you unless you got to within a foot or so. Those vinyl finishes really are something!

Thank you, that morsel is the pot light reflection from above.

And every time I see another picture of the HG cherry I wonder if I should have spent the extra for that finish. That was one of the hardest decisions I had to make when buying my M80 setup.

A foot or so..maybe if you were a craftsman. I love wood and I just went right up to them and they look real enough to me from right up close. Anyone that comes over automatically goes up to touch them as they think it's real wood.

Just do what I did enjoy the boston cherry for a couple years and when the free promo comes and goes twice, jump on it on the third chance

Do I have to wait for the third, or can I jump on the second?

I have to laugh when I see postings about how vinyl is poor quality (any vinyl these days). Some people have no clue.

Those HG cherry really are stunning.

The waiting makes you appreciate them more.

We just need Mark to take some high quality pics as my camera and lightening is poor. Perhaps tomorrow I will try as I did finally finish the center stand. Of course now I just need to decide on how to finish it.
