"Their vinyl finishes were generally considered high quality… as vinyl goes. Personally, I’ve never seen a better standard vinyl finish on a speaker (they also offer custom vinyl finishes)."
The various criticisms I read surrounding the basic vinyl finish lead me to believe that I might regret not paying extra for real wood. However when I received my speakers just last month, I was amazed of their overall build quality. Yes, I would have liked to have gotten real wood, but after receiving my speakers, I can no longer justify the choice for myself. Although, the look of the real wood finishes still makes me drool somewhat.
Nice review, btw.
