Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners How does the mansfield beech finish look?

Sirquack, nice pic. The beech looks better to me without the grills on. With a black grill I think there is too much contrast and it looks kind of 70's to me.

Kcarlisle, the cherry M50's and VP100 with the black grill on look nice and rich, but not overstated, while matching with the TV. The QS4's, to my eye have that contrasting light finish with dark grill I was talking about.

I'm now leaning towards the cherry if the wife is adamant about having the grills on, otherwise the beech would fit nicely. My RPTV and amp are all black, so black grills on would match well.

Thanks for putting up with the dumb question and giving some good feedback. I feel like a chick worrying about the colour of speakers, but there are too many choices.
