1. They haven't arrived yet, but when they do they'll be black Oak to match every other piece of HT equipment I have. My room looks like a black hole.

2. I don't think so, though I find several other finishes very attractive. Kudos to Axiom for providing so many choices. I'm beginning to think this is a very exceptional, and unfortunately rare company. Every experience with them so far (ordering, a couple of phone calls, and this forum) has been eye-openingly pleasant.

3. BIG TIME! That's obvious since I just ordered the 22ti's and a VP150. I'm sitting here at this dumb computer after 4 hours of sleep because, after waking for the obligatory trip to the head, I couldn't get back to sleep for thinking about the HSU STF-2. If I don't pull the trigger on that soon, I may NEVER get any sleep. Upgraditis is a horrible condition. AAARRRGGGHHH!
