IMO, Axiom does not do a great job of showcasing their finishes on the website. I have been very surprised by some of the customer pics that show a vinyl finish that I would think was real wood veneer. Check out the gallery and see what High Gloss Cherry Vinyl and Rosewood Vinyl look like, for example. I am kind of a wood guy and am shocked to say I would seriously consider the Axiom vinyl on a tower speaker. Their real wood does push the price tag into a different competitive realm, so keep that in mind.
