Finish samples! $10 each. I just ordered three different samples myself, and while I didn't really like spending $30 on "nothing", I figured if I was going to spend $2700 on a speaker setup, it was probably worthwhile to get my hands on the samples. It would stink to have the speakers arrive and then perpetually wonder if you'd have rather bought the different finish...

And Axiom folks... if you monitor these posts... SVS provides finish samples FOR FREE upon request! (They are just little 2" x 1" squares with no grille cloth... but FREE! At least the basic finishes, perhaps? Hmmm? Hmmm?
