They expect to ‘launch’ the veneer at the end of March, possibly fist part of April. There will be offering satin, semi-gloss, gloss and piano finishes.
Not sure what the price will be yet, but it’ll definitely be more.
Even if the cost is 50% extra for a piano finish (for example: $1850 for a set of M80’s), these speakers will still be very reasonably priced. Look around some at the different brands out there that have wood veneer in a piano finish. You’ll have a hard time finding one under $2000. And you will not find any with the performance specs of the M80 / M60’s for under $2000. You also have to remember that shipping costs are included, which will usually be a couple hundred extra.
