Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater anyone have good quality pics of maple?

Snippy. Try Photobucket.com. It's free.

Thanks to chesseroo for helping this thread get off its feet. Thanks to all for your replies. I too had the darndest time searching for any photos of maple finish. Ajax the first link i had seen before and couldn't open it today or even a while back. Youre guess is as good or better than mine concerning the second link. Hopefully when these samples arrive it will provide a clear view of what I'm looking for. And I'll see how the samples match up to the photos that I have seen. But the sound is the most important right? Whatever I choose I believe happiness is on its way. BTW, this is for snippy. Before I asked this question here I was diligently searching for these photos and came across a website named dvdfile, with a username snipsnapsappy. Was that you? or maybe your evil twin stealing your identity? Just thought I'd ask. Thanks again for everyones help.

Do you still want/need some photos of maple at this point? I could take some photos tonight and send them to you. I elected maple with the black grilles.

Let me know!

Sometimes this really depends on your significant other and how much they are into the music over the decorating challenge.

Rich, post some pictures anyway.
Everyone loves pictures.

If you need a place to host them, photobucket.com has been recommended by several and it is apparently free (donate at will).

Snippy I'll gladly host your pics if you want. Just drop me an email.

If its not to much trouble that would be most excellent. I just received a sample of boston cherry(maple still on its way) and thought they had sent me the wrong color. The sample is definitely brown with a hint of red to my eyes. I was anticipating a dark reddish brown shown on the axiom website, but didn't meet my (sigh) expectations. Not saying the boston cherry was a dissapointment, just wasn't what I'd thought I had seen. Probably because my monitor is a far from calibrated. Fortunatly the folks at axiom are sending me samples with their most patience so I can get my order right the first time. THanks again, richeydog

Considered the custom finishes? The Vermont Maple or Classic Oak might be more to your taste. The Vermont Maple definitely has a deep red color.

richeydog,

I actually thought the Boston Cherry was going to be a bit darker than what i originally saw on the website after we first received our speakers. However, i have to evaluate the colour of my speakers in either bright sunlight or in the flourescent lighting of my basement. Under incandescent lighting, the colour is quite darker (per the images i sent you before) which is more similar to the colour of B.cherry that i see on my monitor on the website.
Now, with that in mind, i had a chance to peruse ALL the colours that Axiom had on hand at the factory and the Vermont Maple is really the colour i think i was hoping the Boston Cherry would be. Kcarlisle just received a sample of the Vermont if i'm not mistaken and he can corroborate my impression of it, but compared to the boston cherry the Vermont is much darker and richer, a deeper tone of brown and red.
It may actually be the colour you were more expecting. I suggest you consider having Amie send you a sample of the Vermont as well but it is a specialty finish so the speaker cost would be higher.

Yeah I've taken a look or two at those custom finishes. Vermont maple does appear to be a dark cherry. But I'm really not dead set on that color. Maybe when the maple(sample) finish arrives it could be a clear winner for me.
Im sticking to the four main finishes for financial reasons. I'll most likely buy from the factory outlet to save some cash for future axiom purchases. Thanks anyway for your suggestion.
