Hello powerwindow,
I can't comment on cherry but several months back I built a custom cab for the HSU VTF-2, that my wife uses in her stereo set-up with the Boston cherry M3's. I used oak and a two part stain process using Minwax.
Step 1 apply red mahoghany stain per directions
after about 4 hours dry time
step 2 apply red oak stain per directions.
This produced a pretty good match, but not dead-on.

Check out my DIY link, it's the HSU redux pix.
Hope this helps.
