One thing to consider is that in the case of the Vassallo series, if you are just starting your HT and get those a good price, then later on you will most likely get the other speakers in the same finish which can get very expensive. Plus your new speakers will have white dust caps. If all these aesthetic issues are not a concern and only need 2 good looking speakers, then go for it.
Real wood vs Vinyl finish will not affect the sound as Tom pointed out, all Axiom speakers are MDF inside.
