Chris IMO the new black oak finish is just a little less reflective than the old one if that matters. In a well lit room the new one actually has a slight silver sheen to the fake wood grain which does look nice, but in the light from the projector even in bright scenes the new finish is just a touch less reflective with no sheen. Though in both cases the speakers need to be next to each other to see the difference.

But Randy's is the best idea.
