The standard finishes are nice... Until you see one of the speakers in the custom finishes. I think the real wood would be very good looking. I took advantage of the free upgrade to High gloss cherry thats still going on, and although its not a real wood i think its much nicer than the standard boston cherry I previosly had.

I would imagine the real wood would yield those sort of results compared to the HG cherry!
