It ends up my wife wants all black anyway (she must be hiding a little bit of audiofile techie!) - so the simulated wood grain would be IDEAL anyway; awesome looking, matching my subwoofers, and easier than painting.

Every time I see gene from audioholics.com do a speaker review, he's always pulling apart the speakers, with driver's hanging this way and that. I always think better him than me!

Now, I'm envisioning doing the same thing, BUT with rolers, and cans of paint surrounding my m60! Geez, working with my son on his pine wood derby car last night was enough to start making me sweat! \:\)

So, I still have my finger's crossed!
